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 reading and the lecture are both about how advantageous can be the privatization of space travel. The author of the reading feels that it will be beneficial for public as well as for scientists. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. he is of the opinion that privatization would make the public pay more and the discoveries would suffer.
To begin with, the author argues that space travel will become cheaper, if it is privately operated. The article mentions that the private company in order to get more and more tourist will keep the rate cheaper and there will be the rapid development of technology due to the presence of competition. this specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. he claims that the space travel will rather become more costly as there are other things which needs to be taken care of. Additionally, he says as the spaceflights would take place there needs to be the presence of traffic control system to prevent collision and the space shuttles developed should be accident proof, which will require much more money than usually.
Secondly, the writer suggests that there would be rapid increase in the number of discoveries made. In the article, it is suggested that scientist will be able to utilise the private space flights and will then explore the space more thoroughly making more discoveries possible. moreover, more scientists would be working and exploring space than previously. The lecturer, however, rebut this by mentioning that this would rather delay the innovations. he elaborates on this bringing up the point that by the introduction of commercialization in space exploration scientist will leave their government jobs and will move towards high paying jobs which will make the process of discoveries suffer.
Finally, the author posits that by the privatization of the sector burden on the general public will lower. moreover, in the article it is stated that earlier public tax money was used to plan for space exploration but now only one single company would be investing in the project which will reduce economic burden over public. In contrast, the lecturer position is that by commercialization the burden of paying money will increase more over public. he notes that making space travel an industry would require billions of space stations, space flights to be developed, for which no corporation is capable to pay alone. Therefore, public have to pay more for subsidizing the travel for the customers of this service.
