Space tourism - a promising future?
Article Abstract:
Space flight took a different direction in the 1970s and 1980s after the accelerated development of human space flight in the 1960s that aimed to put the first man on the moon. Human space flight is primarily oriented to gaining scientific knowledge about the behavior of matter and life in conditions of micro-gravity. The further exploration and development of space might be expanded further by integrating the rationale of mankind's development with the personal aspirations of people who want to fly and experience space. Space tourism appears to be a possible key to this aim.

Space and human security
Article Abstract:
Space applications have brought many advances and benefits to mankind, but this has not led to mankind feeling more happy or secure than in the past. This is mainly due to the failure to develop a global consciousness matching the interdependency of the modern world. Progress will only be achieved when barriers in developed and developing countries are broken down, and by ensuring that young people learn about space science. The human meaning of space in defining appropriate societal goals should be shared with everyone, not just with academics, politicians or scientists.
