Space Tourism in the Future

Ever wanted to go view planets, the Moon, and the Earth from space? Well, space travel has been an increasingly popular subject matter that could be implemented within the upcoming decades. It offers hotels, front-row seats and so much more benefits that allow for the benefit of being in space.


Many space companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin have already begun working on space travel. On one hand, SpaceX is planning to send humans to Mars in the near future as well as bringing tourists up close to the moon. On the other hand, Blue Origin offers more inclusivity as tourists can actually be at the edge of space and experience high levels of weightlessness before shortly coming back down.


Both approaches to space tourism have their strengths and weaknesses as SpaceX offers views toward outward planets and the Moon, but is more expensive and Blue Origin is relatively cheap, but does not give space tourists the opportunity to view other planets. Still, both ways of integrated space tourism can help revolutionize the future.


As you could expect from the constant climate change going on in the world with growing populations and the shortage of resources, society should be geared more into a space-oriented future to prolong the lives and develop the integration of space for humans. 


As of now and probably a while though, only the wealthiest humans could afford to just go on one trip of space tourism as it could be quite expensive. However, as conservation of fuel and technological advancements subsidize the high expense in energy, there could be more inclusion to allow more people to view space.
