You guessed it\u2026they are all in the race to space. A new era of space tourism has ensued. We\u2019ve moved from the simple study of the outer world to Neil Armstrong\u2019s walk on the moon, and now folks are lining up to book a spot on a shuttle off the planet. The high price of all this, just for a few minutes of floating. But what has renewed this space craze tourism venture and why are the richest people in the world competing to set up shop outside of earth? Let\u2019s delve in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Space shuttle flights have been a thing from the early 1980s but somehow has made a strong comeback as the talk of the town with the likes of brands such as Virgin, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Boeing CST-100 Starliner launching rockets recently. We suspect the revival has a lot to do with newly found bragging rights that can be had and revenue potential, especially now that tech advancements have made it easier and more affordable to launch off\u2026the affordable part can be argued of course. Analysts estimate that by 2040, the global space industry will grow from about 400 billion to more than a trillion dollars. If it&#8217;s true that a seat on the shuttle will go for anywhere between two hundred to three hundred and fifty thousand USD, then those estimates don\u2019t seem so hard to believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, A floating space hotel is set to launch in 2021 with a projected cost of 2.3 billion dollars. Hotel mogul Robert Bigelow has plans to sell slots to government officials looking to do research as well as holiday slots to those who can afford it. By it, we mean booking cost in the low seven\/eight-figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The future of travelling is space tourism\u2026where do you see yourself in the future?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Her influence spans many phases of media development in Jamaica.
