Abstract

Space is no longer the domain of just professional astronauts or for scientific explo-rations; it is now accessible to all, even for recreation. The platform is ready for people to explore Space, up to the Karman Line, or the International Space Station (ISS), and efforts have begun to visit even the Moon and Mars. Commercial leisure space transportation has already started, and sub-orbital flights, a segment of space tourism, are consequently poised to grow faster than the rest. Beyond the orbit trip, like up to the Moon or Mars, may take some more time to realize. Terrestrial space tourism activities have continued as many can satisfy their curiosity about Space by watching and learning about space-related events, incidents, and shows. In addition, ZERO-G weightless flights and space flight training are also taking place, which can offer the experience of flying at very high altitudes.
