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.
The lecture claims that private space companies will decrease the space tourism cost and will help scientific discoveries. It provides three reasons of support. On the other hand, the lecturer does not think so and explains that those benefits author announced will not take place. He opposes each of the author's reason.
First, the reading asserts that private space companies will compete to attract individuals which lead to a lower cost trip. Conversely, the speaker repudiates this notion by explaining that space journey is so much expensive and two of the most expensive steps of this trip included laboratory control equipment and safety test and retest will not hold any chance to decrease the cost only because of the competition. Hence, he believes that it is not possible to decrease the cost of space travel so much.
Second, the reading states that nongovernmental sponsored space trip increments the scientific discovery rate. However, hiring the high-salary scientists is a burden for private space companies which won't help this process to be succeed, the professor says. He adds that it will be a bottle neck step for those companies to pay well these well-expert scientists, then we will not hope to increase the scientific discoveries increase.
Third, the reading passage avers that private companies will take their expenditures from selling tickets to interested people, hence, it will ease the taxpayers. Controversially, the lecturer believes that there is no chance that private space agencies can invest in this field so much which decrease the government investment. He asserts that in any case this trip needs billions of dollars for space stations and other very expensive instruments which are not possible without governmental help. As a result, this will not decrease burden from the taxpayers.
