Space tourism’s growth, spurred by Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin, encounters obstacles. Accessibility remains a primary concern; tickets cost hundreds of thousands, limiting access to the wealthy. This inequality raises ethical questions about space as an elite playground.
Environmental impacts are also significant. Rocket launches release pollutants, potentially damaging the ozone layer and contributing to climate change. More studies are ongoing to assess the true effects.
Future success depends on cheaper, eco-friendly tech. Reusable rockets and alternative fuels are important. Addressing safety concerns is also key for long-term sustainability. The dream of space travel requires responsible development.
