High Interest
in Space Tourism
By Rob McCarthy
The success of private space exploration
companies such as SpaceX in Hawthorne
hasn’t gone unnoticed by travelers looking
to expand their horizons and come back with
more than a t-shirt.
A new poll of Americans reveals a high
number would ride aboard a space vehicle
and endure the rigors of liftoff and a return to
Earth. Four in 10 people said they’d consider
making the voyage into space despite some
strong doubts space tourism will become a
reality within the next 50 years.
Pew Research Center asked Americans their
views about the new space race, both for
exploration and pure fun. Among people most
interested in traveling into space, 45 percent
say they’d go up for the unique experience.
Another 29 percent want to sightsee and
specifically look down at the Earth.
Elon Musk of SpaceX, Amazon founder Jeff
Bezos and Virgin Airlines’ Richard Branson
are huge backers of the new space race. They
and their space flight companies are testing
reusable rockets and space vehicles they
hope someday will ferry passengers around
the Earth and back safely.
Becoming a space traveler isn’t for the
majority of Americans, based on the poll
results. An overwhelming number -- 58 percent
-- said their bucket lists don’t include a
flight that orbits Earth. The cost of a ticket
and the perceived danger makes such a trip
impossible to imagine for many of them.
Others said they’re too old or not healthy
enough to make that kind of trip.
If the days comes when manned space
vehicles fly like commercial jetliners, more
men than women are ready for departure.
About half the men (51 percent) say they
would be interested in orbiting the Earth
in a spacecraft, compared with one-third of
women. The men who aren’t interested in going
to space think it would be too expensive.
The women believe the dangers outweigh
the adventure, according to the poll results.
The interest in being a space traveler
is highest among young Americans born
between 1981 and 1996. An impressive 63
percent of the millennials told Pew they
would definitely or probably be interested
in going up in space for a look-see.
People in the survey were evenly divided
on whether space tourism will happen in the
next half-century. Americans were even more
skeptical about the possibility that mankind
would build colonies on other planets by
2068. Still, there are believers out there.
Almost one-third of the people polled
envision colonies on other planets within
50 years. That aligns with Musk’s belief
that millions of people could be living on
Mars around 2060. He raised the ante last
September when he told attendees at a space
conference in Australia that the first human
visitors to the red planet could reach Mars
as early as 2024.
Public attitudes about space exploration and
who will drive future missions are changing,
the poll numbers reveal. While Americans
who profess to be interested in news about
space are confident that private companies
will contribute to the U.S. space program, a
solid two-thirds don’t want space exploration
to be privatized. Two-thirds of Americans
polled said it is essential that NASA continue
to be involved in space exploration.
President Trump has set a goal for NASA
to return astronauts to the moon, where the
space agency could build a relay station to
support the more ambitious missions to Mars.
The agency announced last year it has plans
to build a facility called the Deep Space
Gateway on the moon. The structure could
serve as a way station between the Earth and
the Red Planet -- a nine-month trip between
the planets using the fastest rocket NASA
has in operation.
Will space be a profitable venture for SpaceX
and the other transporters? Americans feel sure
they can, and believe these private companies
are well-managed and will control their costs
enough to make meaningful contributions
to the exploration of space in this century.
NASA currently uses them as contractors to
lift satellites into orbit and make supply runs
to the international space station.
NASA will send up another rover to
Mars in two years as part of the agency’s
ongoing exploration of the planet. “The
Mars 2020 mission addresses high-priority
science goals for Mars exploration, including
key questions about the potential for life on
Mars,” NASA said. The next Rover mission
is designed to demonstrate technologies that
“address the challenges of future human expeditions
to Mars.” They include a method
for producing oxygen from the Martian
atmosphere, identifying water beneath the
surface, and improving landing techniques.
NASA also wants to study weather, dust and
other environmental conditions that could
affect future astronauts living and working
on Mars. •
