SPACE TOURISM: AN INITIATIVE PUSHING LIMITS
Öz: Since the launch of Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite, in 1957, the number of participants in space activities has been growing rapidly. Although space tourism is in its early stage, it is estimated that the number of space tourists will increase significantly in the coming years. Space travel has inspired humanity in so many ways that humans are entering a new era where space will be accessible to the general public. Space giants such as SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, Orion Span and others are making new attempts to open a new page in the field of space activities by introducing the concept of space tourism to the public. In this article, a brief is made on the concept of space tourism, the history of human space travel, and the initiatives developed by companies like SpaceX and Virgin Galactic to make commercial space travel possible. In this article, the definition of Space tourism has been expanded into three subcategories: Sub-orbital space tourism, Orbital space tourism and Beyond Earth orbit Tourism, where companies such as SpaceX and Space Adventures Ltd push their limits. With an anticipated jump in the future of Spacetourism sector, this article demographically represents how people of people of different age group from U.S.A are excited to involve with this activity
