3. INTRODUCTION
Spaceflight is the use of space technology to achieve the flight
of spacecraft into and through outer space. Spaceflight can occur
with spacecraft with or without humans on board. It is used in space
exploration, and also in commercial activities like space
tourism and satellite telecommunications.
4. MEN IN SPACE
So far, none except astronauts and specially trained
people (and animals as well) were allowed to take a
trip into space.
However, there is a possibility that in the next 30
years this situation will change.
5. SPACE TOURISM INDUSTRY IN
2030
This short but impressive overview of space toursim in 2030 covers
aspects like the vision and economics of space tourism, turnover,
and orbital accommodation.
7. has spoken of the
‘explosion’ in space travel which he
expects to come to fruition over the
next few years, as private space travel
ventures such as Virgin Galactic begin
to gather pace.
"It's going to be an explosion of people
having had the chance to go into space
and enjoy the marvels of space travel,"
"I'm absolutely certain that there will be hundreds of thousands
- if not millions - of people who will opt for (spaceflights), once
the price gets to the right level," stated Branson.

9. SPACESHIP OF THE FUTURE
So we decided to bring you six different vehicles that
may one day take you to the final frontier.
Expensive balloon? Check. Capsule atop a reusable
launch vehicle? Check. NASA's next-generation launch
vehicle? Check.
And if you're worried that $200,000 is too much to pay
for a jaunt on Sir Richard Branson's SpaceShipTwo, then
you still have time to get your astronaut application into
NASA.

17. •By 2025, said Barack Obama, we expect new spacecraft designed for long journeys to allow us
to begin the first-ever crewed missions beyond the Moon into deep space. So we’ll start -- we’ll
start by sending astronauts to an asteroid for the first time in history. By the mid-2030s, I believe
we can send humans to orbit Mars and return them safely to Earth. And a landing on Mars will
follow. And I expect to be around to see it.

19. – With Virgin Galactic and others pioneering space
tourism, space trained pilots will be needed.
– Space tourism will need its own Spaceports
providing launch facilities far different to that of an airport. Space Tour
Guides – A new role could emerge for specialists in astronomy who can
guide us in exploring the cosmos whilst on vacation.
– Designers of physical solutions to enable the
habitation of space and other planets.
– This role involves making a
planet hospitable enough for colonisation / mining operations.
- A range of
space-oriented physical and natural scientists.
