Extreme tourism has been going on for a while, from climbing Mount Everest to going down to the Titanic, but now there is a new one, venturing into space. Well, not exactly new, because it's been going on for a few years, and it will get bigger. From suborbital space, to orbiting the Earth, to orbital space hotels and staying on the Moon, it's all coming!
What people don't realize is that this is not just a luxurious excursion for the wealthy, but the way to space for all humanity. As tourist space vehicles and hotels get more comfortable an cheaper, it will spinoff to the space sector for the migrants and workers space by cheaper, safer, and more comfortable launch systems and space habitats.
Listen and hear for yourself, and think about how you can become involved. Space tourism is a whole new world opening up, for everyone, tourist or not.
