Space tourism… It may sound weird when you hear it. This term, which started to become popular about 10 years ago, is now very close to us. It is now very possible to embark on this journey, which is the dream of almost everyone, from young to old. Science… It makes everything possible for us. As someone with an interest in space, this was the only thing I wished for as I entered my new age: to travel into space one day. It seems very difficult for me at the moment. Because it has become a commercial business and tickets are very expensive. But sometimes they draw lots for the person to go. I hope I win one of these lots. If that happens, it will most likely be the happiest moment of my life. Maybe I’ll be too famous. Because when Neil Armstrong first stepped on the moon, the whole world knew him. Of course, I know that I can’t be as famous as him. Because there will be many people involved in space tourism. But I think this feeling is worth all the other feelings. Sometimes I want to get away from this world we live in. To walk away and just listen to myself, to be alone with myself. What could be better for this than this trip? I did a lot of research on this. Maybe when we come to the 2050s, a new city will be established in space and people will go to live there. Investments for this started 10 years ago. SpaceX is doing everything it can to give a new direction to our lives. I can say that the luckiest person for this is Elon Musk. He deserves it. The freedom to go into space unlimited times… Who wouldn’t want that? As a space tourism traveller once said: “Exploring the limits of the universe is perhaps impossible, but we can draw our own limits.” As someone who believes that my imagination is very wide, this journey was beyond my dreams. But now it may be real. This feeling makes me feel alive.
