Editing Space tourism

Space tourism is space travel for recreational, leisure or business purposes. A number of startup companies have sprung up in recent years, hoping to create a space tourism industry. Orbital space tourism opportunities have been limited and expensive, with only the [[Space Adventures Ltd.]] company providing transport to date.

==Sub-orbital==
*[[Virgin Galactic]], is planning to begin passenger service aboard the [[VSS Enterprise]], a Scaled Composites [[SpaceShipTwo]] class spacecraft. 

*[[XCOR Aerospace]] is developing a suborbital vehicle called [[Lynx]].
*[[Armadillo Aerospace]] is developing a two-seat vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) rocket called [[Hyperion]].


==Orbital==
*[[SpaceX]] is developing the [[Falcon]] rocket and a capsule named [[Dragon]]
*[[Boeing]] is building the [[CST-100]] and intends to fly tourists. The CST-100 is planned to be launched by an [[Atlas V]] rocket.
*[[Space Adventures Ltd.]] have announced that they are working on [[DSE-Alpha]], a [[circumlunar]] mission to the Moon.
*[[Excalibur Almaz]], a private company based in the Isle of Man, plans to use modernized [[TKS]] space capsules to carry paying research crews into low Earth orbit and beyond.
Several plans have been proposed for using a space station as a hotel:
*[[Bigelow Aerospace]], has already launched two first inflatable habitat modules ([[Genesis I]] and [[Genesis II]]).They hope to setup a space station.
* The [[Space Island Group]] have set out plans for their Space Island Project,[39] and plans on having 20,000 people on their "space island" by 2020, with the number of people doubling for each decade.[40]
