When it comes down to technologies that get hyped up but never quite seem to become reality space tourism is high on the list. After all, it’s been more than 20 years since Dennis Tito became the first space tourist and his trip cost him $20 million.

But spaceflight companies are slowly making it a little more affordable. Boeing is working on an astronaut capsule that will take astronauts to the www.ostsee-frei.de/new-technology-for-space-tourism International Space Station and also to be able of transporting private citizens. The agreement between Boeing and NASA is meant to increase the frequency of trips, but they are still expensive. The flights will cost tens of thousands of dollars per.

SpaceX, meanwhile, is working to make it a lot less expensive. Its Interplanetary Transport System could allow people to travel from London to San Francisco within an hour. Then, it will allow them to travel further and with the goal of creating an interplanetary colony.

You can still take part in the virtual simulation. To get a real-life look at the experience of to travel through space, you can go to one of the numerous virtual space exhibits that are available online.
