Space Travel

Space Travel

When you hear the term space travel you probably think of galaxies far far away or of scenes from within the Starship enterprise. However, the reality of traveling beyond the earth's atmosphere is not that far away at all. Governments have been sending astronauts to space for years, and now as a consequence of the Ansari-X Prize, a $10million dollar competition for private manned space flight, space tourism could be operating within 2 years. If you would like to become an astronaut, experience the best views of the world and to enjoy weightlessness then you can by signing up to a commercial space programme. You will participate in a weeks pre-flight training, take a three hour flight and experience 3 minutes of weightlessness on the most amazing ride of your life – a sub-orbital space flight.
