Longyou Space refers to space tourism, with its origins dating back to the 1960s. In 1961, former Soviet astronaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to enter space, opening a new chapter in human space exploration. It was not until the beginning of the 21st century that space tourism really started to take off. In 2001, American businessman Dennis Tito became the first space tourist to experience the International Space Station for eight days aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. Since then, the Soyuz has carried more than ten people into space.
