Explore the nascent industry of space tourism, in which people pay to be launched into space

Space tourism is anybody who pays government or some private company to go up into space. It's like regular tourism except you get to go on a rocket to do it. There's a company, Virgin Galactic, where you can pay $200,000, and you get to go up into space for a couple of minutes and then come back down and land at a runway. If someone's offering for $500,000, maybe there's going to be another company that'll offer it for $300,000, $100,000, $50,000. It--you know as it gets cheaper and cheaper, more and more people are going to want to go.
