I think more and more people going to space and having that view is just going to help all of us around the world because you'll get a different perspective. That's NASA astronaut Sunita Williams talking about space tourism back in 2016. Space tourism is commercial travel beyond Earth for a brief, thrilling experience of weightlessness and stunning views. Thanks to Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic, Jeff Bezos Blue Origin and Elon Musk SpaceX, a tour of space is becoming as easy as boarding a flight. But how much will it cost for a common man to do it, and what are the dangers involved? The process starts with training aspiring space tourists who undergo a few days of preparation, which includes learning safety protocols, experiencing high G forces in a simulator, practicing weightlessness in zero gravity flights. After training, passengers are launched 8200 kilometers above Earth, crossing the Karman line, the edge of space. Passengers experience a few minutes of weightlessness and breathtaking views of Earth before descending back. This once in a lifetime experience comes with a hefty price tag. Virgin Galactic around $4,50,000 per seat, which is approximately 3.75 crores. Blue Origin estimated $2,50,000 to $1 million which is approximately 2.1 crores to 8.3 crores rupees. SpaceX for multi day orbital trips cost about $55 million which is approximately 460 crore rupees. Sub orbital flights like those by Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic last about 10 to 15 minutes, while orbital trips like SpaceX missions can last several days to a few weeks. The first ever space tourist was Dennis Tito, an American entrepreneur who paid $20 million, approximately one ₹66,00,00,000 in today's value in 2001 to visit the International Space Station aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket. In 2021, Richard Branson became the first billionaire to reach space on his own. Virgin Galactic flight VS Unity on July 11, 2021. The spaceship flew like a a bird. On 19th May 2024, Gopi Thota Kuda became Indias first space tourist, taking Blue Origins new Shepherd spacecraft for a 10 minute suborbital flight alongside 5 other passengers. By 2033, the global space tourism market is expected to grow to $28.48 billion. Innovations like AI powered booking systems, virtual reality previews and orbital resorts will transform how we experience space.
