Space Tourism - A Viable Industry? Due September 20th @ 11:59PM

Is Space Tourism a viable industry? Please answer the following questions:

1) Historical background: When did the idea of "space tourism" begin? How has it developed? What have been the hurdles and accomplishments?

2) Give a brief summary of the rules and regulations that currently govern space tourism. When and why were they developed? Do you feel that they are appropriate or that the need to be more or less restrictive?

3) Where do you see space tourism headed and in what time frame? I.e., do you think it will be accessible to the general public, not unlike the commercial airline industry? Do you think it will develop into a means of transportation or do you think that it will perpetually exists as a one-time, bucket list adventure?

4) What are the qualifications to work in the space tourism industry  - either from the pilot or the management perspective? This may require some research, perhaps even making a phone call.


Don't forget to include two APA formatted references that are linked to the website. Also, please include at least two (one per each reference) in-text citations.

Because I am posting this assignment a little late, you have until Monday, September 28th at 11:59PM to submit.

Enjoy!
