Episode four: The Future Of Your Summer Holiday.

Fancy posting your next batch of holiday selfies from 250 miles above Earth? Space tourism might sound like a far-fetched idea to some, but for Texas-based company Axiom Space, it's fast becoming a reality.

We hear from Axiom’s CEO Michael Suffredini about the company’s plans to send space tourists into orbit by 2022 - with a price tag of €47m for a ten-day stint.

And if you’re sick of airport queues and long-haul flights, how does a one-hour door-to-door trip from Dublin to Paris sound? With hyperloop, supersonic travel could be a part of our everyday lives sooner than you might think.

We meet Team ÉirLoop, a group of Irish students leading the hyperloop charge with their entry into the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Student Competition in California.

Join us as we look ahead to the future of your summer holiday.
