Answer 1

Many people would like to experience space travel for various reasons.The goal of affordable travel to space for the general public is not only practical but highly desirable.
Yes. I have heard that now people are allowed to travel in space e at a huge cost( You know that!)

Here are some few sites regarding your question :)

Answer 2

We can only hope. I am sure that one day there will be space travel, however... I am not sure if we can ever get ride of all religion.. never know if there are already connected cultures out there who have some unique ideas of what religion should be.. My hope though is that after a species evolves to a certain point they no longer will need religion... but i suspect that as long as there are questions left unanswered people will look for the easy way out and assume there is some form of god behind the scene.

Answer 3

The way it's going for sure.

Right now there are already for a lot of money, but if we keep advancing in technology, you might be able to get a trip into space for an affordable price. Maybe in 10-30 years.

Houston, we have a hotel - the first one in space.


Those weary of weekend breaks in the West Country, Paris or New York will soon to able to broaden their horizons by choosing Galactic Suite for a few days away.

Ensconsed in one of its zero-gravity rooms, they will spin around the world every 80 minutes, enjoying the spectacular sight of 15 sunrises every day.

Orbiting Earth won't be for the budget traveller, however.


Room with a view: A Velcro suit will help defy gravity

A three-day stay is expected to cost £2million.

Galactic Suite is due to open in 2012, initially catering for six guests at a time in its three pod-shaped double rooms.

Eventually, the Barcelona-based architects plan to have up to 22 pods clustered around a central nucleus.

Each pod will be 23ft long by 13ft high and will be almost devoid of furniture.

When guests tire of floating around, their Velcro suits will allow them to stick to the padded walls "while they eat, sleep or gaze out into space".


The hotel's structure, which makes it look like a model of molecules, was dictated by the fact that the pods will have to fit inside the US space shuttle which will ferry them into place three at a time.

A three-night stay will cost a staggering £2 million

Once the hotel is built, the shuttle will also carry the guests to their destination, reassuringly remaining there during their stay.

Xavier Claramunt, a director of the company behind the project, said: "There is fear associated with going into space.

"That's why the shuttle rocket will remain fixed to the space hotel, so guests know they can get home again."

He admitted that designing bathrooms for zero gravity is the biggest design challenge.

"How to accommodate the more intimate activities of the guests is not easy," he added.

But the designers may have solved the issue of how to take a shower in weightlessness - guests will enter a spa room in which bubbles of water will float around.

The £1.5billion project to turn science fiction fantasy into a reality is backed by a US company intent on colonising Mars, which sees Galactic Suite as a first step.

Mr Claramunt said: "We have calculated that there are 40,000 people in the world who could afford to stay at the hotel."

For their money, guests will also get eight weeks of intensive training at a James Bond- style space camp on a Caribbean island.

Answer 5

The future is a long period of time. In the near future, say 20 years, several companies are planning for sub-orbital trips for tourists. You go up in a big arc, "oh and Ahh!!!" for a couple of minutes and go down, many tens of thousands of dollars lighter. While there is some talk about orbital hops or lunar trips, talk is cheap: none are really in the hardware stage. I seriously doubt any real money will commit until the viability of suborbital excursions is proven.

Answer 6

Yes. Some public space travel already exists and more is coming. See the sources.

Answer 7

There might be for a little while, but the novelty will pretty soon wear off. After all, what is there up there? A lot of empty space, a barren satellite called the moon, and, if you really want to ba adventurous, an equally barren planet called Mars.

Answer 8

Yes !! there are many who are now working toward this goal, It would cost alot to do so but it will be a reality one day in the near future,, Russia has already allowed tourists to travel to the space station

Answer 9

There are already domestic space flights available for normal people like you and me, i found quite a few with a quick search.

One is available today that takes you out of our atmosphere and back. Check out this website: http://www.spencertravel.com.au/overview-space

And apparently within 2 years you will be able to by a ticket around the moon and back.

will is such a strong word. i've never heard of the future following closely and faithfully to predictions
