Space Tourism
Soon there will be something new for the tourist who has been everywhere and seen everything on Earth. Spacecraft being developed by private commercial companies will soon enable private citizens to buy their own tickets to travel into space, thereby creating a space tourism industry. so far, space travel has been undertaken only by governments, but the new, privatized spaceflight industry will bring great benefits to both science and the public.
First, private space travel will benefit serious space exploration by making spaceflight cheaper. Privatization of space technology will bring technological costs down very fast because it will allow competition--and competition is one of the strongest motivators to cut costs. Thus, lowering the cost of space travel will benefit not only space tourists but also scientists, who will be able to use private space flights for research purposes.
Furthermore, privatization of space travel will accelerate the rate at which important scientific discoveries occur. the aerospace industry already sponsors a lot of groundbreaking scientific research, and adding private spaceflight companies to it will make the industry as a whole grow in size, thereby employing more scientists than it does now. that increased number of working scientists means not only that more discoveries are likely to be made but also that those discoveries are likely to be made more quickly than in the past.
Finally, when governments are the sole providers of space travel, the costs are paid for by the whole taxpaying public, but with privatization, the expenses of space travel will be borne by the customers of the industry. The fact that private spaceflight operators will be able to raise funds through ticket sales means that the financial burden on taxpayers will be eased significantly.
According to the lecturer and the reading passage, there are several positive points about space tourism and several negative points about space tourism. The lecturer refutes all of the three advantages of space tourist that mentioned in reading. However, the reading passages contend that the space tourist will bring great benefits to both science and the public.
The first point that the lecture makes is that private space is expensive. According to the professor, commercial space travel will require control system and the development of such a system won't be cheap. Another thing that will keep the coast high is the safety of each new ship should be tested and that is also very expensive. This point from the lecturer contrasts with the reading because the reading only says that private space travel will benefit serious space exploration by making spaceflight cheaper.
Another point that the lecturer uses to cast doubt on the reading is privatization of space travel will not accelerate the rate of scientific discoveries. The lecturer claims that commercial space will delay discovering and innovation and as results, serious space research may suffer. However, the reading only states that privatization of space travel will accelerate the rate at which important scientific discoveries occur.
Finally, the professor stated that, on the contrary of the reading, it is impossible that the space travel will give the whole taxpaying for public. In other words, the private space tourism will pay huge taxes for like billion dollars to build space stations and so on. In fact, all taxes will pay more to support the vacation of space tourists. This contradicts the final idea of the reading passage because it only says that the costs are paid for by the whole taxpaying public.
