What is included in the tour?
🚀 Preparation:
Medical examinations
Training in centrifuges
Zero gravity simulations
Psychological preparation
🛰 During the flight:
3–5 minutes of zero gravity (suborbit)
The opportunity to look at the Earth “from the outside”
Orbital missions include life and sleep on board, scientific experiments, and even live broadcasts on social networks
Who’s next?
✅ Already in line:
Thousands of Virgin Galactic clients
Hundreds of interested parties at Blue Origin
Axiom Space is assembling crews for future missions
🧑🚀 Special projects:
The dearMoon mission — Japanese Maezawa wants to fly around the Moon with a team of creative people (SpaceX).
A film project on the ISS with Tom Cruise.
Private stations as future “hotels” in space (for example, Orbital Reef from Blue Origin and Sierra Space).
When will “ordinary people” fly?
Perhaps in 10-15 years, provided that launches become cheaper and rockets are mass-produced. Now the cost of a suborbital flight is like a luxury car. But if rockets become reusable, as Musk promises, the price can drop to several tens of thousands.
Conclusion
Space tourism is no longer a fantasy, but a reality. Although for a select few, each flight brings the moment closer when weightlessness and a view of the Earth will become part of our lives. Today, billionaires fly into space, and tomorrow scientists, artists, and perhaps you will go there.
