Is space tourism really coming?

Just wait.

Generally speaking, the distance between 80 and 100 kilometers from the earth is considered the dividing line between aviation and aerospace, and can be regarded as the boundary of space. Obviously, compared with traveling around the world in a hot air balloon, traveling to space is beyond imagination. You can imagine how difficult, dangerous and complicated the operation is. Nowadays, with the development of aviation technology, especially the continuous enhancement of the carrying capacity of vehicles and the continuous improvement of comfort and safety, space tourism that ordinary people can adapt to is no longer a distant dream.

At present, space tourism mainly focuses on suborbital flights and low-Earth orbit flights. The former means that the aircraft flies at an altitude of about 100 kilometers but does not enter low-Earth orbit and fly around the earth.
