Commercial Space Travel


Many people have dreamed of being able to travel into space. However, most people haven't had the opportunity to become an astronaut and actually go into space. However different companies such as Virgin say that commercial space travel is possible. Before these companies private citizens have spent $20-$45 million and have had to go through months of training and examinations. The company VSS Enterprise has already made the first commercial space flight to the first commercial space port. The price of their tickets ar $200,000 each but say within 10 years could drop to anywhere between $100,000-$50,000. However the question is: Is it worth it? I believe that if you make the insane amount of money that would even make you capable to go on this trip go for it what do you have to lose? However, the whole flight allows you 1 hour in space and within a couple of minutes graity gets a hold of you again anyways. Is it really worth it? That's for you to decide...

  2. Sounds really cool! I would love to travel to outerspace and see what is out of our world. I've heard that movie starts have apparently bought tickets for these outer space flights. I would love to experience 0 gravity and see the other planets.

Physical Activity

Most people today don't get enough physical activity. As a matter of fact some school only give 45 minutes of activity (PE class) per WEEK. Obesity is a growing problem not only in the United States but the entire world. The WHO has called this global epidemic globesity. If people don't start being more physical there could be serious consequences. My generation is the first generation in which kids might not outlive their parents.
