Safety and Development of Space Tourism Pioneers of space tourism have ignored most the major lessons gained after over five decades of spacecraft. Disasters involving spacecrafts such as the Challenger and Apollo 1 should be used to address this issue of safety. According to studies, production costs have continued to outrank safety. The development of spaceflights is something that continues to ignore the relevance of human safety. However, the Commercial Crew Program (CCP) has been put in place in order to ensure the required safety measures are fulfilled by different agencies. It is agreeable that crew safety is not taken seriously. Human safety will therefore play a significant role in the current development of this new technology. Engineers will be forced to pioneer new safety mechanisms and spacecrafts that can deliver the best results. This fact explains why new technologies should be aimed at improving the safety of every space tourist. Should Safety be a Major Priority? The cost of developing various space technologies will always be high. It is also agreeable that safety will remain a major issue in this emerging technology. It is therefore appropriate to make safety a major focus. The safety of the targeted tourists should be taken seriously before focusing on the economic gains of this commercial venture. According to different experts, the concept of safety will significantly hinder the development of this new technology. However, the safety of every space tourist should be prioritized in order to make the industry more sustainable. This development will eventually produce the best goals and eventually make the industry more profitable. This is the case because more individuals will be willing to go to space. New Safety Issues The current aviation system focuses on specific safety precautions such as effective piloting, collision avoidance, warning systems, and crew resource management (CRM). New issues have emerged in an attempt to improve the safety of space tourists. To begin with, gravitational forces reduce significantly during such trips. Engineers should therefore come up with new safely measures to deal with this issue. The crew should also get quality training on the issue of safety. These training sessions are necessary because such journeys can take several months. The kind of food availed to such tourists has also become a major concern. The other safety issue focuses on the health and medical needs of different space tourists. Engineers have also been forced to consider various design aspects for every spacecraft. It is also necessary to minimize potential accidents. These issues will force many agencies and spacecraft engineers to think deeper in order to improve the safety of every crewmember. Going to Space Going to space can be an unforgettable experience. However, current statistics show clearly that the issue of safety has been ignored by many agencies. This situation explains why I would not go to space today. New initiatives and safety measures are therefore needed in order to make space tourism more secure. New studies should also be undertaken in order to support this industry. Safety should become the topmost priority for
