The future of spaceflight

Ever since the works of the Chinese who developed rocket propelled object, man has always wanted to apply that and try to leave the surface of earth.  But really how much have we improved from then, and were will the future take us?

Just in the past two years private space company's have been able to deliver goods to the ISS. That is an amazing feat. Before it was only giant countries who could achieve this amazing milestone in their space programs.

The future of SpaceFlight is endless, because we will always be developing more efficient and powerful propulsion elements. And as we spread across the galaxy it is necessary to keep devoting and improving.

More about space travel


Since the beginning of time, man has looked to the heavens and dreamed of traveling there. Only within the past hundred years have we been able to fly, and 50 have we been able to travel to space. But yet it is unaffordable  for the average man to  go to space.

As of right now, company's that are looking to provide cheaper flights to space and near space are still in testing phases. Although tickets to purchase in advance still run you $200,000 this is a substantial decrease in price from those offered by Russia and NASA.

Within the next 20 years, I see space becoming the home of the middle class man. Within the next ten the first colonists will be on Mars. And this is all in part of the work down by Elon Musk and Sir Richard Branson, both pioneers of affordable space travel.

Who knows what will happen!
