El Space Tourism, also referred to as the new era of commercial space travel, They are luxurious because of the exclusivity theme. All those fans of space and science fiction movies will not have to wait long before embarking on a journey where they can experience weightlessness since there are companies like Virgin Galactic looking to provide a galactic dream vacation.
This company started selling the first travel tickets for the space flights and currently registers more than four hundred tickets sold at an average of two hundred thousand US dollars each (150 thousand euros).
The trip will include a series of orbital subflights before we reach the mothership. In addition, the company is already developing a concept to build a luxury hotel in space and there are several companies that are seeing space tourism as the next gold mine since NASA has left a void by no longer providing the service of ferry ride.
Another important offer in space flights is that made by James Murray, the same one who hopes to have his suborbital flight program ready before the end of 2017. In this case, the company will have its own mini-shuttle that can take off from anywhere in the world ( although, Murray hopes to receive the necessary permits so that its main bases are in Europe).
The price of the service that will allow us to experience weightlessness for about six minutes and then observe the earth at a hundred kilometers of altitude will be the same as that of the Virgin Galactic service.
El Space Tourism It is without a doubt a luxury trip But considering that exploring space is something that has always captivated the human race, it is not surprising that the flights booked will already exceed 600 reservations, and, if Virgin Galactic meets its deadlines, the first flight will be made for Christmas 2013.
If our economic availability is a little less comfortable, we can opt for the services offered by the company Space adventures, the same one that offers flight tickets at 84 thousand euros and that will begin operations in 2014. Currently, it already has more than 250 reservations.
