In my opinion, while the concept of space tourism is incredibly exciting and companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic are making significant strides, I believe it’s unlikely that space travel will become truly affordable and accessible to the general public within the next 20 years.

First off, space travel is super expensive. Even rich people pay a lot of money for a short trip. To make it cheap enough for everyone, we’d need to find much cheaper ways to build rockets and spaceships. That’s no easy task.

Then there’s the safety thing. Space is a dangerous place. There’s stuff flying around up there that could hurt you. We need to be really sure our spaceships can protect us from all that. Plus, being in space for a long time isn’t good for your body. Scientists are still trying to figure out how to keep people healthy up there.

Lastly, we don’t have fancy hotels or restaurants in space yet. Where would we stay? What would we eat? There’s a lot of work to do before we can even think about space vacations.

So, while it would be amazing to visit space someday, I don’t see it happening for most people in the next twenty years. We’ve got to overcome some big challenges first.
