Since before man set foot on the moon, many of us have dreamt of going into space. Now with developments in space tourism, those dreams may become reality. With Virgin Galactic set to offer suborbital flights in the not too distant future and other companies experimenting with similar programs, space travel for the public is an achievable development aided by continuous research and advancements across the industry. Along with technologies allowing mapping of the moon, the ATLAS experiment on track to answer some of the most challenging questions about our universe and the ESA working towards sending man to Mars, the future of space exploration looks set to offer some momentous discoveries.
