Dream of space Travel By S.M Mehady Hasan

pace tourism is human space travel for recreational purposes. There are several different types of space tourism, including orbital, suborbital and
lunar space tourism. To date, orbital space tourism has been performed only by the Russian Space Agency.

The first astronaut left Earth 20 years ago on top of a Russian rocket.
Now, private companies are offering travel for those who can afford it.

History of space tourism:
To most people, going to the stars is nothing more than a dream.
NASA has long been hesitant to play host to space tourists, so Russia – looking for sources of money post-Cold War in the 1990s and 2000s – has been the only option available for those looking for this kind of extreme adventure and this extreme adventure lover man is Dennis.
On April 26, 2001, Dennis Tito achieved his lifelong goal - Tito, a wealthy businessman, became the first tourist on an international trip to pay US$20 million for a seat on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. Only seven people have followed suit in the 20 years since.

Expansion of space tourism:
Space Aircraft are expensive. A rocket must burn a lot of costly fuel to travel high and fast enough to enter Earth’s  orbit .But there are an Another cheaper possibility is a suborbital launch, with the rocket going high enough to reach the edge of space and coming right back down.
The difficulty and expense of both options mean that, traditionally, only countries-states have been able to explore space. This began to change in the 1990s as one entrepreneur after another entered the space arena. Led by the CEO of Billionaire, three companies have emerged as big players: Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin and SpaceX. Although no payments have been made by private Customers

following in the footsteps of space tourism, British billionaire Richard Branson created the brand for his adventurous love. He founded Virgin Galactic after buying Spaceship On, an organization that won the Ansari X-Award for its first reusable location. Since then Virgin Galactic has tried to design, build and operate a larger spaceship that can carry six passengers on a suburban flight. With the capsules on previous test flights reaching an altitude of more than 340,000 feet (or more than 100 km). The capsule, which has massive windows to give passengers a view, spends as much as 10 minutes in zero gravity before returning to Earth.
There are two companies competing in the realm of suborbital tourism: Virgin Galactic, which debuted on the public market last year and trades under the ticker “SPCE,” and Blue Origin, the private space company funded almost entirely by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

The journey has been tougher than expected. Virgin Galactic faced several major hurdles when Branson predicted the business would open to tourists in 2009- a pilot was killed in a crash in 2014. It’s one. Engineers found significant problems with the design of the vehicle after the accident, for solving the problem, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, respective leaders of SpaceX and Blue Origin, began their own ventures in the early 2000s. Elon Musk who is famous for commercializing the first mass-market electric car Tesla

It Was disappointed by the lack of progress in building as a perennial species. He founded SpaceX in 2002 with the goal of developing reusable launch technology to reduce the cost of space travel. Since then, SpaceX has had success with its Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft.
The ultimate goal of SpaceX is the human settlement of Mars - an intermediate step in sending the customer into space.
Bezos was inspired by the vision of physicist Gerard O’Neill and wants to expand humanity and industry not to Mars, but to space itself. Blue Origin, established in 2004, has proceeded slowly and quietly in also developing reusable rockets. Its New Shepard rocket, first successfully flown in 2015, will eventually offer tourists a suborbital trip to the edge of space, similar to Virgin Galactic’s. For Bezos, these launches represent an effort at making space travel routine, reliable and accessible to people as a first step to enabling further space exploration.

The Tourist Experience:
There are two important theories of the tourist experience. In 1976, McConnell developed The first theory that tourism itself consists of the search for ‘authenticity.’ This starts from Marx's observation that living in the modern world produces a state of alienation in which we cannot realize our real selves. The reason why people travel is, therefore, to escape from the real world in order to experience a different world, and to discover the ‘authentic.’ And other developed By Boorstin in 1962,

Future Perspective:
Now, for anyone looking to go into space and into Earth orbit, the only solution is SpaceX. That is why there are currently plans for two tourist launches. The first is scheduled for early September 2021, funded by billionaire businessman Jared Isaac man. Another trip planned for 2022 by Axiom Space is being arranged. Travel and accommodation on airplanes and the International Space Station will cost US$55 million. The high cost has led some to warn that space tourism – and private access to space more broadly – might reinforce inequality between rich and poor.Blue Origin costs $ 200,000 and Virgin Galactic costs $ 250,000 for suburban travel. Besides Blue Orgin saying after a recent launch that crewed missions would be happening “soon.” Virgin Galactic continues to test SpaceShipTwo. Although these prices are high, the pleasure of seeing the earth from space is different.
In any case tourist trips into space have become common today, though not widely spread. State companies and private corporations understand that a breakthrough, allowing cutting the flight cost and thus making it widely available, will automatically bring them to a new market that will not only pay for itself, but knock up a fortune for its pioneers. Meanwhile, Japanese aerospace research agency JAXA has set a goal to create an orbital tourist hotel and scientific zone approximately until 2050
Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin will soon begin selling tickets for rides on its space tourism rocket.

From my perspective, I see the beginning of an era in which more people can experience space. With companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin hoping to build a future for humanity in space, space tourism is a way to demonstrate both the safety and reliability of space travel to the general public.
