Question:- Do you believe that space tourism will become affordable and accessible to the general public within the next 20 years?
In my opinion, it's not possible for now, and even if we do, it won't be possible for everyone to switch to a different planet for several reasons. As the population of the earth is 795.09 crores, it is not a simple task to relocate all the people to some other planet, and now the question arises: wRead more
In my opinion, it’s not possible for now, and even if we do, it won’t be possible for everyone to switch to a different planet for several reasons. As the population of the earth is 795.09 crores, it is not a simple task to relocate all the people to some other planet, and now the question arises: which planet? Scientists say that it’s one of the few rocky planets discovered that has the potential for humans to survive on, but that the planet is 40 light years away. Gliese 12 b is only a little smaller than Earth. It’s an “exoplanet,” which means that it’s a planet outside of our solar system. So I agree with the fact that it will at least take 100 years for us to find an optimal way to relocate to some other planet. I strongly believe that instead of hypothetically thinking about life on some other planet, our primary focus should be on making the earth a better place. Researchers have found many ways to reduce carbon emissions without compromising with modern technology, like switching to digital cards instead of using paper to reduce the cutting down of trees. Besides promoting electric vehicles and hydropower engines to save fossil fuels, the UN is also working on the project of environmental sustainability.

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.
