space tourism

make your reservations now. the space tourism industry is
officially open for business, and tickets are going for a mere
$$20 million for a one-week

stay in space. despite reluctance from national air and space
administration (nasa)
，
russia made american businessman
dennis tito the world’s first space tourist. tito flew into space
aboard a russian soyuz rocket that arrived at the international
space station (iss) on april 30, 2001. the second space tourist,
south african businessman mark shuttleworth, took off aboard
the russian soyuz on april 25, 2002, also bound for the iss.


lance bass of ‘n sync was supposed to be the third to make
the $$20 million trip, but he did not join the three-man crew as
they blasted off on october 30, 2002, due to lack of payment.
probably the most incredible aspect of this proposed space
tour was that nasa approved of it.

these trips are the beginning of what could be a profitable 21st
century industry. there are already several space tourism
companies planning to build suborbital vehicles and orbital
cities within the next two decades. these companies have
invested millions, believing that the space tourism industry is
on the verge of taking off.

in 1997, nasa published a report concluding that selling trips
into space to private citizens could be worth billions of dollars.
a japanese report supports these findings, and projects that
space tourism could be a $$10 billion per year industry within
the next two decades. the only obstacles to opening up space
to tourists are the space agencies, who are concerned with
safety and the development of a reliable, reusable launch
vehicle. space accommodations

russia’s mir space station was supposed to be the first
destination for space tourists. but in march 2001
，
the russian
aerospace agency brought mir down into the pacific ocean. as
it turned out, bringing down mir only temporarily delayed the
first tourist trip into space.

the mir crash did cancel plans for a new reality-based game
show from nbc, which was going to be called destination mir.
the survivor-like tv show was scheduled to air in fall 2001,
participants on the show were to go through training at
russia’s cosmonaut (
宇航员
) training center, star city. each
week, one of the participants would be eliminated from the
show, with the winner receiving a trip to the mir space station.
the mir crash has ruled out nbc’s space plans for now. nasa is
against beginning space tourism until the international space
station is completed in 2006.

russia is not alone in its interest in space tourism. there are
several projects underway to commercialize space travel. here
are a few of the groups that might take tourists to space:

? space island group is going to build a ring-shaped, rotating
“commercial space infrastructure (
基础结构
)” that will resemble
the discovery spacecraft in the movie “2001: a space odyssey.”
space island says it will build its space city out of empty nasa
space-shuttle fuel tanks (to start, it should take around 12 or
so), and place it about 400 miles above earth. the space city
will rotate once per minute to create a gravitational pull one-
third as strong as earth’s.

? according to their vision statement. space adventures plans
to “fly tens of thousand of people in sp
ace over the next 10-15
years and beyond, around the moon, and back, from
spaceports both on earth and in space, to and from private
space stations, and board dozen of different vehicles...”

? even hilton hotels has shown interest in the space tourism
industry and possibility of building or co- funding a space hotel.
however, the company did say that it believes such a space
hotel is 15 to 20 years away.

initially, space tourism will offer simple accommodations at
best. for instance, if the international space station is used as
a tourist attraction, guests won’t find the luxurious
surroundings of a hotel room on earth. it has been designed
for conducting research, not entertainment. however, the first
generation of space hotels should offer tourists a much more
comfortable experience.

in regard to a concept for a space hotel initially planned by
space island, such a hotel could offer guests every
convenience they might find at a hotel on earth, and some they
might not. the small gravitational pull created by the rotating
space city would allow space-tourists and residents to walk
around and function facilities would be possible. additionally,
space tourists would even be able to take space walks.

many of these companies believe that they have to offer an
extremely enjoyable experience in order for passengers to pay
thousands, if not millions, of dollars to ride into space. so will
space create another

separation between the haves and have-nots?

the most expensive vacation

will space be an exotic retreat reserved for only the wealthy?
or will middle- class folks have a chance to take their families
to space? make no mistake about it, going to space will be the
most expensive vacation you ever take. prices right now are in
the tens of millions of dollars. currently, the only vehicles that
can take you into space are the space shuttle and the russian
soyuz, both of which are terribly inefficient. each spacecraft
requires millions of pounds of fuel to take off into space, which
makes them expensive to launch. one pound of payload (
有效
载重
) cost
s about $$10,000 to put into earth’s orbit.

nasa and lockheed martin are currently developing a single-
stage-to-orbit launch space plane, called the venturestar, that
could be launched for about a tenth of what the space shuttle
costs to launch. if the venturestar takes off, the number of
people who could afford to take a trip into space would move
into the millions.

in 1998, a joint report from nasa and the space transportation
association stated that improvements in technology could
push fares for space travel as low as $$50,000, and possibly
down to $$20,000 or $$10,000 a decade later. the report
concluded that a ticket price of $$50,000, there could be 500,000
passengers flying into space each year. while still leaving out
many people, these prices would open up space to a
tremendous amount of traffic.
