The rich can now have a flight to the moon. Its like taking an airplane. There seems to be no danger to ride in a rocket and get to the moon. Soon the fiction of star wars becomes a reality.

Space tourism is beginning to be a reality. Everyone thought it might not be viable, but there are lot of rich tourists who want a space vacation. The growing incomes with the globalisation of economies, is resulting in huge spending power. People are tired of the usual vacation spots, like beaches, mountains. They want the thrill of achieving something which other fellow mortals can not achieve and the only way they can do it is by planning their trip to space. Yes, star wars can be viewed as fiction, but at the same time all the gadgets and gizmos have been designed by the human mind, which can easily create such things, i.e. make a production prototype. So, it would be nice to go on a space trip, maybe even to different galaxies. But, one thing is for sure, that will a very expensive vacation!.

One lifetime is not enough to reach the other galaxies. If we can travel with the speed of light - time element is also a barrier.

Yea, your right, "the rich can now have a flight to the moon." A two-week around-the-moon trip has a price tag of $100 million. Space tourist can fly to the International Space Station for $25 million. Short suborbital trips run between $100,000 to $200,000.

Yes, I was waiting for that to happen. It is normal, humans want to take advantage (money) out of everything.
