Today morning i was listening to the news on CNN when they showed that Richard Branson of 'Virgin' along with some other business partner is going to launch a space tourism jet by the end of the year. The jet will carry 6 passengers to outer space along with 2 crew members. The price is targeted to be 200,000$ per passenger. Sounds like a great business plan for Virgin who are ready to invade the outer space. Well there are 2 sides to this. This program which will be a cup of tea for the affluent will enable people to travel to outer space. There are already 200 passengers from different countries who are signed up for the program. However the other side to this is that man has started putting his footsteps in space for commercial purposes. Where would it lead to? It has been seen in the past , that wherever man goes he brings with him pollution, acts which harm the nature and destroys peace. This is not too far if we dont stop our rapid invasion of space. I think space should be kept for research and exploration as much as possible and not for commercial use. This will help maintain the sanity and peace of space.
