Would You Like to go to Space?

     When you ask a child what they want to be when they grow up, many shout out,  "Doctor, Policeman, Teacher or Astronaut". To children, these are the most common occupations, but why do they think that? What part of society makes those jobs look so enticing? why do business or engineering seem to be placed on the back burner. Even though four of these occupations are commonly achieved, being an Astronaut is not. While there are almost 700,000 Doctors in the Us alone, there are only 500 Astronauts in the world. 
       For all the millionaires of the world, space travel will soon be an activity one would do with their extra money. According to The New York Times, if you have, lets just say "$50 million, Space Adventures, in Virginia, says its can get you to the International Space Station, a trip seven people have already enjoyed that includes up to 12 days in orbit and, presumably, all the freeze-dried ice cream you can eat". To read more click here. 
      As the average American could never dream of spending $50 million dollars for a 12 day trip of a lifetime, in a few years, commercial space travel will take off and become a billion dollar industry. Well for now, if you had $50 million dollars lying around, would you go to space?
