If you are an astronaut, a famous actor, musician or just a businessman who has a lot of money, then you can easily and simply fly into space. Astronauts fly there for work, and wealthy tourists have already started selling tickets, because Roscosmos, SpaceX, Blue Dragon, like some others, are already preparing to launch passenger spaceships specially created for tourists. It is more difficult for ordinary people to get into space, because first of all it is very expensive. But the non-profit organization Space for Humanity is going to remedy the situation in the near future by sending ten thousand people into space for free, - reports spacenews.com.
Space for Humanity was founded by American investor Dylan Taylor, who wants ordinary people to also be able to experience zero gravity. At the moment, only a few hundred people have visited space, but Dylan's idea is to select ten thousand volunteers from different countries belonging to different socio-cultural groups, and then send them into space so that when they return, they can talk about their experiences emotions to other people and inspire them.
Space for Humanity has not yet decided on how the flights will take place. The main thing is convenience, safety and economic feasibility, therefore, all currently existing and under development spaceships are considered.
Taylor is confident that over time, the initiative will attract the attention of stakeholders who can donate money for new flights. So far, anonymous donors have already allocated about ten million dollars to the organization. A drop in the bucket, but flights will not start tomorrow either.
