Today is December 15,2031．Influenced by the launch of the first manned mission to Mars next month,you will most likely get a gift card for a space trip．
The interest in space trips has grown steadily among people since such a trip began．Therefore,the market has grown much larger this year since the official announcement of the Mars mission．More low -cost space lines have entered the market and you can now find flights for such a trip for as low as ＄3 ,495．It\’s very reasonable．
Space tourism is one of the markets that have developed fast during the last decade,with the opening of the Starlight Hotel on the moon as well as the low orbital hotels that started accepting guests．However,accommodation in space is still expensive for the average household,so the suborbital （亚轨道的） flights with thirty-minute weightlessness during the three-hour flight will be the most popular trip．
However,the space lines might in the future face fierce（激烈的） competition with the appearance of space elevators （太空升降舱）,like the one that is projected to start construction within two years．Once it is fully functional,it will start to ship cargo to space．But it will accept passengers as soon as possible to get back the large investment．Even if the elevator becomes successful,it will take several years before there are more elevators in the world to get in the competition for space traffic with the space lines．
Those who are looking for a little bit of adventure and have extra money to spend may want to consider a suborbital flight in space．While a suborbital flight may not be the space mission that you have always dreamed of,it will give you the rare opportunity to see what our planet looks like in a high-altitude flight outside our atmosphere．So before you enjoy a trip by elevator to space,enjoy a suborbital flight first．
