Until recently, you may only read in scientific fiction that an ordinary person could take a trip into space. We have heard ideas about holidays to the Moon, but these were just a story, and everyday flights into space seemed just a distant possibility .Aspirations of space tourism are remembered in science fiction works such as Arthur C. Clarkes A Fall of Moondust and Islands of the Sky. But now, this fiction could become achievable as major steps are being taken to make the dream of traveling into space to become a practical reality. On 28 April 2001, Dennis Tito, a millionaire, became the worlds first space tourism. Tito was flown into space onboard a Russian Soyuz capsule. He showed that anyone could make a space journey. Five years on, scientists are attempting to shape the future in order to give everyone a chance to fulfill their dreams of traveling into space, whether or not they are millionaires.
