Embarking on a Journey Beyond Earth: The Best Space Tourism Destinations
The space tourism industry may still be in its early days, but there are already several riveting destinations for those eager to embark on intergalactic adventures in search of awe-inspiring experiences. From limited-duration suborbital flights to deep-space missions that traverse the far corners of the solar system, gateway-cities have been springing up to cater to the insatiable demand for out-of-this-world experiences. So, it’s time to pack your bags, buckle your seatbelt, and blast off into space!
The International Space Station (ISS)
Witnessing the Earth’s beauty from the orbit is surely one of the most surreal experiences in life. Apart from being a research laboratory, the ISS also provides accommodation to astronauts and space enthusiasts wanting to palpate and savor the zero-gravity environment. With a crew of international professionals and the opportunity to experience life as an astronaut, one can’t really go wrong with the ISS.
Virgin Galactic’s Galactic Journey
On Virgin Galactic’s spacecraft, travellers who venture on this suborbital flight affix to SpaceShipTwo, a craft closer to conventional planes than ships to blasting off the floors of Earth. Along the way, travelers curve through the threshold of space, experiencing zero-gravity along with a spectacular view of the stars from the spaceship soon after.
Mars Colonization by SpaceX
Elon Musk’s SpaceX may have conquered all of our dilemmas surrounding rocket technology and flying-cars. SpaceX plans to build a fully self-sustainable city on Mars and send in hundreds of humans to colonize the Red Planet. Knowingly, such an initiative will still attract niche investors who will be willing to step out of the horizon.
Bigelow Space Station
Renting your Satelite at Bigelow Station in space is not too far from possibility with Bigelow Aerospace’s vision. For a specific sum, space-craving tourists will get to spend some months in a self-containment module – considering air, water, and food. Additionally, satellites evidently come furnished with Wi-Fi and accessible Earth Views.
The Lunatic Tour
With blues singers like Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young’s incessant use of the term “We’re finally on our way,” the band tour tookoff back in 1970 as a following through and activist response to the vietnam War. Orbital space beats with internationally recognized artists’ leading trios, connecting people regardless of from where they hail. Clearly even the vibe that is created assures these endeavors will keep floating around.
The radical importance of space tourism represented our progress beyond the tiny orbit of our planet— as an interaction between interactive science and creative thinking leading future explorers on to new territories—and that the possibilities are simply infinite. While tourism in space may not be witnessed by many, projects like these expand views, providing a glimpse into impressive outcomes ahead of their time.
