Will space tourism ever be a reality? With successful launches in such competitions as the XPrize, the time doesn’t seem so far off.
Virgin is the largest company involved at the moment– planning to fly 3,000 new cosmonauts over the next five years– at a price starting at over 200,000 dollars. For those outside this bracket– Zero Gravity is launching 2,000 dollar weightless flights similar to Space in its modified Being-727– creating a 10,000 foot roller coaster around 30,000 feet above earth.
For the real adventurers though– a company called Orbital Outfitters is working on Space Diving. Both as a sport or as an emergency exit route from a space tour gone wrong– the physics are already worked out for this new form of sky diving, provided participants are wearing protective gear and the right kind of chutes.
The affordability of Space Travel got a huge boost in June when a Boston-area investment group backed XCOR Aerospace– a private rocket company developing a spaceship that will take off and land like an airplane. With this kind of backing, space travel might arrive sooner than we think.

Wrapped around the spacecraft, A positive and negative electrostatic field generated from a van de graff generator could charge a thin insulted alloy film would protect space tourists from alpha, beta and delta type radiations. Gamma rays on the other hand require a more specialized approach to reduce it’s photon energy. This can be achieved with the use of materials that illuminate at lower optical frequencies when struck by gamma thus transforming the ‘photogenic’ energy to a safe level.

Because it doesnt work that way…When you think magnetic you think one of those little magnets you put on your fridge to hold up that reminder to call some one, but the Earths magnetic ’shield’ works slightly differently than that and is caused by complex actions in the earths core, unless we have a way to mimic these complex actions, then we haveto find ways to sheilf ourselves. (Also, wouldnt you think the magnets would mess up controls and cause a accident?
ok im not shure …
ok im not shure nasa have there heads on strate they say the earths magnetic shield will not protect them from space radiation well on the moon or mars but did they ever think of using refridgerator magnet materal to line the inside of space ships and space stations this simple step would give them a strong shield and a simple design is common seance realy to much to ask for in a space program

Hmm, it seems like its a kind of basic human love for exploring and seeing beautiful new sights. I just love the idea of walking around on mars, or even Venus. Maybe flying through the atmosphere of a gas giant..mining extremely rare minerals that are abundant on asteroids or moons. Its just exciting! Don’t know what to say really..humans love playing and analyzing new things. Space is like the next, biggest, most fascinating frontier (study a neutron star up close???) Who knows what to expect

Dear All,
I have some question on psychology:
Why do we love flying space travel? What do we enjoy to explore the space? Why do we want to design new aeroplanes and space shuttle?
Thank You in Advance for your creative ideas and brainstorms

The fuel is mostly hydrogen and oxygen, however some do use a hydrogen and kerosene mix. The first has little to no affects in terms of pollution.
Alternate engines would be required however for reliable flights such as the horizontal take off and landing plane featured in the last scene. Aerospike engines have proven the most likely candidate for these launch vehicles.
