Is there a chance that people can tour our universe in our time?
If what I know is correct, passengers can tour the outer atmosphere of the Earth riding the Concorde. When and where will be the next space tour? I guess the next touring site is obviuosly the moon. It will be the most costly travel but at least for me it would be the greatest thing that will ever happen to my life.  |

hahaha, you make me laugh.
Elevator would be a bit primitive at that time. I guess it would be a teleporter to travel to different worlds. Imagination makes our world becoming more advance everyday. Someday, space travel would just be as normal as airline travel.
In the medieval period, people will tell you that you are crazy if you say to them that we can travel to the moon. I guess nowadays, people are more open to possibilities even if its impossible to achieve. When I tell you that someday we can travel to planet Mars, I guess your answer might be "not at this time."  |

The next visit to the Moon is scheduled for 1018... I'll be 54 years old then.
I remember the last visits when I was around 6 years old. I remember watching them on our old B&W TV.
If I am alive at all, I'll be well retired by the time they visit Mars and probably not up for the trip. |

| Looks like space travel will be the next great thing. Too bad that most of us can`t afford a trip like that! |

I'll also be 54 in 2018, and I still don't understand what is to be gained from spending billions of dollars going into space...and no, wouldn't. _________________ My flight map. A million miles and counting....Where I’ve been around the globe. |

It would be very wonderful to travel to the space.Space tourism is the recent phenomenon of tourists paying for flights into space. As of 2009, orbital space tourism opportunities are limited and expensive, with only the Russian Space Agency providing transport. The price for a flight brokered by Space Adventures to the International Space Station aboard a Soyuz spacecraft is US$20–35 million. The space tourists usually sign contracts with third parties to conduct certain research while in orbit. This helps to minimize their own expenses.
