00:00
you are watching trends every Thursday
00:03
we take a peek at the future to see
00:05
what's ahead of us is space glamping the
00:09
next big travel trend welcome to a luxe
00:13
calm the place where future billionaires
00:17
come to get inspired Holloway lectures
00:20
and welcome back for another exciting
00:21
video 50 years ago Neil Armstrong became
00:24
the first man to step on the moon and
00:26
ever since then a trip to outer space
00:28
has always been on everyone's wish list
00:31
for today's video you don't need to be
00:33
an astronaut you just need to be willing
00:35
to travel to space because we're
00:37
exploring how commercial space travel
00:39
will soon become a reality and what that
00:42
could mean for how we spend our money
00:43
and free time what if what if you could
00:49
book your trip to outer space just like
00:51
anywhere here on earth what if you and
00:53
your loved ones could lounge around
00:55
hotels in outer space what if you could
00:58
enjoy the best views of Earth while
01:00
traveling in a space flight capsule what
01:03
if it were more affordable to book a
01:05
flight up to the edge of space just to
01:07
experience a few minutes of
01:09
weightlessness space tourism offers many
01:12
such exciting propositions but before we
01:15
understand what they are let's get down
01:17
to the basics introduction not really
01:22
sure what space tourism is all about
01:24
well space tourism refers to the idea of
01:27
traveling to space for leisure and is
01:30
expected to become a three billion
01:31
dollar market by 2030 in the early 2000s
01:35
the Russian space agency was the only
01:37
organization providing orbital space
01:39
tourism for enthusiasts around the world
01:42
but today with the advancement in
01:44
technology many private enterprises are
01:46
coming up with their own propositions of
01:48
space tourism right now even with the
01:51
space tourism industry in its early
01:53
stages experts claim that its growth
01:55
will be the same as the early days of
01:57
the commercial airline industry one of
02:00
the top players in this industry
02:01
Virgin Galactic has already gone public
02:04
on the New York Stock Exchange becoming
02:06
the first publicly traded space tourism
02:09
company Virgin Galactic's CEO George
02:12
Whitesides
02:13
believes in the near future many people
02:15
will be willing to participate in space
02:17
tourism and with a handful of private
02:19
companies offering this opportunity the
02:21
space tourism industry will soon become
02:23
capacity constrained so let's take a
02:26
look at these top players who are
02:28
nearing their first spaceflight with
02:30
human passengers the top players there
02:35
are currently five top players in the
02:38
space tourism industry who are willing
02:40
to start commercial operations in 2020
02:43
apart from commercial aircraft
02:45
manufacturers like Boeing and Virgin
02:47
Galactic Jeff Bezos is Blue Origin Elon
02:50
Musk's SpaceX and a start-up aerospace
02:53
company named Orion Spann are leading
02:56
the charge Richard Branson's Virgin
02:58
Galactic plans to start a commercial
03:00
space flight that will orbit the edge of
03:02
space at an altitude as high as 50 miles
03:05
the 90-minute flight will carry six
03:07
passengers on board who will experience
03:09
several minutes of weightlessness and
03:12
enjoy incredible views of Earth before
03:14
they land back on ground the company has
03:17
opened the world's first commercial
03:19
spaceport in New Mexico and has started
03:21
taking bookings for its first suborbital
03:24
spaceflight as of now more than 700
03:27
individuals have secured their seat by
03:29
paying a deposit of two hundred and
03:31
fifty thousand dollars Virgin Galactic's
03:34
closest competitor is Blue Origin which
03:37
aims to sell tickets for its commercial
03:39
space flight this year Blue Origin has
03:41
developed a reusable Sheppard launch
03:43
rocket that's already been launched
03:45
several times in testing the rocket is
03:48
designed to carry six passengers at a
03:50
time who will be free to float within
03:52
the Rockets capsule for several minutes
03:54
before they land on earth a via
03:56
parachute the tickets for the ride will
03:59
be priced similarly to Virgin Galactic's
04:01
space flight now if you wish to travel
04:04
to space and also enjoy a stay there a
04:07
california-based aerospace company Orion
04:09
spen
04:10
has proposed to build a space station at
04:12
an altitude of 200 miles called Aurora
04:15
Space Station that will serve as a space
04:18
hotel the hotel will provide tourists 12
04:21
days of stay in a single trip and one
04:23
trip is expected to cost around nine
04:26
point
04:26
five million dollars per head the
04:28
structure will orbit the Earth once
04:30
every 90 minutes providing space
04:32
tourists an incredible view of 16
04:35
sunrises and sunsets every 24 hours the
04:39
company claims to have a seven-month
04:41
long waiting list and charges eighty
04:43
thousand dollars in a deposit to secure
04:45
the seat Boeing on the other hand has
04:48
partnered with NASA as part of a
04:50
Commercial Crew development program
04:52
under this program the company is
04:54
designing a space capsule called the
04:56
Boeing cst-100 Starliner that provides
04:59
the opportunity to sell seeds to space
05:01
tourists in the event of future space
05:03
missions the agency is aiming to launch
05:06
the uncrewed Atlas five rocket carrying
05:09
the star line for a flight test in
05:11
December and once successful the test
05:13
data will be used to certify Boeing's
05:16
crew transportation system while NASA
05:18
currently pays millions of dollars for
05:21
Russia's Soyuz Rockets to put its
05:23
astronauts into space but after the
05:25
success of the Commercial Crew
05:27
transportation system it would then be
05:29
possible to launch astronauts in a more
05:31
cost-effective way
05:33
Elon Musk's SpaceX is the most ambitious
05:36
of the lot as its goal is to launch a
05:38
commercial round trip to the moon by
05:40
2023 following a round trip to Mars
05:43
SpaceX has developed a successful
05:46
reusable rocket launch system but the
05:48
company has not yet declared a pricing
05:50
strategy for its commercial trips the
05:53
company is also working on developing
05:54
suborbital space flights that will
05:57
exponentially reduce time spent on
05:59
long-haul trips and dramatically change
06:02
point-to-point travel anywhere here on
06:04
earth
06:04
for example if SpaceX's suborbital
06:07
flight becomes a reality traveling from
06:10
New York to Tokyo will incredibly only
06:12
take 37 minutes and a Luxor's as travel
06:16
lovers we're sure you're excited to hear
06:18
all about these new opportunities but
06:20
while we wait for it to become a reality
06:22
we know you'll want to stay safely
06:24
connected while traveling here on earth
06:26
that's why we recommend using a VPN it's
06:29
a super easy to use piece of software
06:31
that protects your data online so the
06:34
government or other companies can't spy
06:36
on you and you can enjoy the internet
06:38
you know
06:39
we partnered with a great folks at Nord
06:41

06:58
protect yourself online today by going
07:01
to a luxe comm slash VPN challenges and
07:06
threats looking at the hefty deposit
07:10
figures we mentioned before it's clear
07:12
that space tourism right now is only
07:14
accessible to the rich launching a
07:17
rocket for a spaceflight demands massive
07:19
amounts of resources and fuel increasing
07:22
the costs involved for a single space
07:24
trip even if the number of individuals
07:26
willing to participate in space tourism
07:28
has hit an all-time high the development
07:31
of a low-cost passenger launch vehicle
07:33
is still a distant dream but right now
07:36
the bigger challenge for space tourism
07:38
companies is to ensure passenger safety
07:40
instead of focusing on cost reduction
07:43
when it comes to taking human passengers
07:45
safely to space and back there's hardly
07:48
any room for error several test flights
07:51
will need to be launched before the
07:53
first space tourists take off in 2014
07:57
Virgin Galactic spacecraft crashed
08:00
during a test flight killing one pilot
08:02
and leaving the other seriously injured
08:04
such incidences not only threaten the
08:07
existence of privately-owned space
08:09
companies but also leads one to question
08:11
the amount of risk involved in these
08:13
ventures other than the challenges faced
08:15
by private companies there are also
08:17
several challenges individuals
08:19
participating in space trips will face
08:22
travelers will have to undergo prolonged
08:24
fitness training and pass all fitness
08:26
tests before the actual trip space
08:29
tourists would also have to bear any
08:31
health related side effects of space
08:33
travel like loss of bone density and the
08:36
slowing down of the cardiovascular
08:37
system making their trip far more
08:40
challenging than any they have
08:41
previously taken here on earth
08:45
conclusion
08:46
space tourism can be considered the
08:49
ultimate form of out-of-home luxury but
08:52
unlike any other form of luxurious
08:54
experience it also demands a lot of
08:56
endurance making it more of a luxurious
08:58
adventure rather than a leisure trip
09:00
with all this said promoters of space
09:03
tourism believe that a trip to space
09:05
will completely change the way we look
09:07
at our planet and the atmosphere
09:09
surrounding it making us more aware to
09:12
preserve it but isn't it kind of ironic
09:15
we have to be so far removed to gain
09:17
that kind of perspective to feel the
09:19
urge to live more responsibly question
09:23
having such a large international
09:26
audience it'll be interesting to see how
09:28
varied your opinions are on this topic
09:30
we'd love to know if you wish to travel
09:32
to outer space and if so which space
09:35
travel company would you choose to take
09:37
you there let us know in the comments
09:39

09:56
person to fund his own space trip he
09:59
spent nearly eight days in orbit on a
10:01
visiting mission to the International
10:02
Space Station splurging a whopping
10:05
twenty million dollars thank you for
