when will we be able to fly around in space?

Question

we can fly to the moon how about just fly around in space, is that even possible

Answer 1

Actually, now. All one needs is money. LOTS of money, actually; the fair to outer space costs billions, you know. But the point is, today is the days when civilians (with the billions) can "fly around" in space, and just for the fun of it.

The age of space tourism is just big bucks away.

Answer 2

"we can fly to the moon how about just fly around in space"
what is the difference? exept that you have a destination.
At the price putting something in space costs, you better have a destination or at least some scientific purpose.

Answer 3

It's been done for the first time in 1961 by Gagarin (USSR), and today, many astronauts and scientist go up in space either with the american shuttle or on the International Space Station

Answer 4

....?

International Space Station "just flies around in space."

So do shuttles.

So did Apollo, Gemini, Mercury, all the Soyuz, MIR....

Now, if you mean take off for a joy ride - that'll be a while. Before we can do that, there will have to be an infrastructure created to enable us to return. Think of it this way: to go off for a "Sunday drive" presupposes the existence of restaurants, gas stations, roads, maps, etc, etc - and, as yet, we have none of that Out There.

Answer 5

If you mean a Sunday afternoon drive around the solar system, we can't do it. We pick a speciic target and head toward it.
