UNITED STATES OF AMERICA – Finally, the United States Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, is also in the businessspace travel . No half-hearted in the video that was released titled Visions of the Future recently, NASA invites tourists not only to fly as high as possible into Earth’s orbit.
Instead they plan to invite tourists to explore the solar system. Tourists will be invited to the satellites of the planet Saturn, Titan, skydiving on exoplanets, observing clouds on Venus, seeing rover rockets flying on Mars and much more.
“At NASA our mission is exploration. We go and study all places in the solar system to get a good understanding of a big question mark. How did we get there, what is our goal and finally whether we are truly alone,” wrote NASA on their official Twitter account.
According to the Science Times, NASA’s vision for future space travel and space tourism is still decades away from being realized. It’s just that this exciting effort seems to have succeeded in attracting not only the government but also private companies willing to support space missions beyond orbit and even the solar system.
NASA’s desire in the space tourism business is indeed quite advanced when compared to private companies that have already started the business. Recently, two space companies owned by the two richest people in the world, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson, managed to invite non-astronauts to travel in earth orbit.
Jeff Bezos’ space company, Blue Origin, has even taken the general public twice into Earth orbit. One of them is actor William Shatner, star Trek film actor who was also successfully established as the oldest person in the world to reach earth orbit.
