Space Tourism

Space tourism refers to the commercial activity of providing access to space for recreational, leisure, or adventure purposes. It involves private individuals paying for the experience of traveling into or near space, typically aboard commercially operated spacecraft. This emerging industry offers various experiences, including suborbital flights that provide brief weightlessness and views of Earth from above, as well as potential future orbital or lunar tourism opportunities. Space tourism aims to make space travel accessible to non-professional astronauts, allowing them to experience the unique environment of space. The concept has gained traction with advancements in aerospace technology and the involvement of private companies in space exploration efforts.
