Even now we are starting to see skill games, and contests all geared towards offering free trips into space becoming more frequent. The barriers to enter into this industry either as a company or as a tourist are no where near astronomical, and are in fact only as high as anyone’s imagination will go. 25 years ago you couldn’t dream of ever having the chance to go to the moon, and now for only $100 million dollars you can. Put aside the fact that I just said “only” for a moment and appreciate the bigger picture which is the fact that we are starting to see prices placed on things we used to think were so far out of our reach. This tells us that soon even a trip to the moon will become more affordable. We are and have been in the “creative age” of the space tourism industry. The important thing to not lose site of here is that it’s happening now! and there are unlimited opportunities to help make it happen sooner regardless of your background.
