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 reading passage, privatized spaceflight industry will enable private citizens to
travel into space and thus, bring lots of great advantages to both science and the public. However,
the professor casts doubt on it and states the contrary.
First of all, it is declared in the reading that space travel, once privatized, will enhance space
exploration by lowering the spaceflight cost through competition. As a result, not also space
tourists but also scientists are benefited. They then will be able to use private space flights for their
travel or research purposes. The lecturer, nonetheless, counters this idea; he claims that private
control system will not make the industry cheaper. The spacecrafts need tested and re-tested over
the time to ensure the safety. Therefore, the price ticket cannot go down as expected.
Additionally, the privatization of space tourism, as the reading says, will speed up scientific
discoveries. The increasing number of private spaceflight companies will require more and more
working scientists, and undoubtedly, more scientific discoveries will be carried out faster than
before. This totally contrasts with the professor's idea. He points out that more scientists will
probably be attracted to work for those companies because of high salary. The purpose of research
then turns out to be 'commercial' rather than 'scientific'.
Finally, while the reading states that public tax burden of space travel will be significantly eased
when the government is no longer the only sponsor. The expenses of the industry will be paid by
its customers. However, in fact, the private spaceflight companies cannot raise such enormous
fund without the huge public tax subsidy. Tax duty, then, will certainly become more painful to
the public, according to the professor.
