Space Tourism - Traveling beyond Earth

With the development of fields like aeronautics, astronautics and aerospace engineering, traveling into outer space has become more frequent and more safe. Subsequently people who are not professional astronauts have the chance to go on a space flight. This, however, is not a cheap experience, with ''space tickets'' costing millions of dollars. Nevertheless space tourism is gaining popularity, and new companies are being set up in order to provide services related to this form of traveling. Futuristic ideas like space hotels no longer seem impossible, and who knows how soon one will be able to spend his/her honeymoon in a space station suite with a view on the Moon. In order to find out everything about the emerging field of space tourism and the issues related to it, read this book.
