Make these vacations memorable for your kids by planning for space tourism! The best place for such tourism is the Kennedy Space Center. Approximately 1.5 million people visit this space center every year! With the opening of Shuttle launch Experience, the number of visitors will increase more. It will offer virtual space ride to the visitors.
It is also being expected that in the working spaceports, interesting space themed attractions could be installed. Visitors will be entertained with the real life space fliers. According to the managing Director of Spaceport and President of Lyon Capital Inc, Michael Lyon, they are also planning to open space centers in Singapore and United Arab Emirates.
Virginia based Space Adventures along with others is the partner of Spaceport. They are in the process of developing actual launch facilities in one of the emirates, Ras-al-Khaimah, along with Singapore.
Major highlights of these space centers are spaceship simulators, interactive exhibits and displays of rocket replicas. Zero gravity airplane flight is one of the best their features. To make things more adventurous, visitors could also experience realistic space camp, with underwater training and high-G centrifuge. Lyon quoted, “no real place to see a centrifuge as a tourist.”
When the space center will become a real spaceport then it would be a major attraction for the private sector astronauts. He also added, “We’re not a theme park. Everything we do is based on authenticity.” Now, Lyon along with his partners is working hard on financial proposition along with various technological perspectives.
