Fewer than six hundred people have ever been
into space, but in the future, more people will
be able to travel there. A space vacation will
begin with three days of medical checks and
training in a spaceport. The travelers will learn
about safety and they will practice some
techniques used by NASA astronauts.
The day before the space flight, the travelers
will get on a special plane, but they won’t go
into space. They will watch a spaceship take
off.
On the day of the flight, the travelers will put on
special suits and get on the spaceship. There
will be five passengers and two pilots. They will
fly to 50,000 feet (15,240 meters). Then they
01
will listen to the countdown to the speed of
sound! After 90 seconds, the pilots will turn off
the engine, but the spaceship won’t stop. It will
continue to climb to 360,000 feet (110
kilometers above the Earth).
Lead in
The passengers will leave their seats. They
will be able to float in zero gravity and enjoy
views of Earth from large windows for about
4–5 minutes and there will be total silence.
They will then return to Earth to their friends
and family, who will be waiting in the spaceport
lounge.
About 350 people have already booked to go
to space, but a seat on a spaceship will cost
about US $200,000 dollars, so it won’t be a
cheap vacation.
