Astronauts travelling to and from the International Space Station has almost become routine in the 48 years since people last set foot on the moon. As the space tourism industry evolves during the next decade, players in this space will continue to find new and innovative ways to make space travel and the business of space more efficient and accessible. 

In this report, we ask space experts questions like:

  • What will human space flight look like in 2030?
  • What will it take to make space tourism accessible to more people?
  • What are the possible terrestrial benefits that we could get from increased space travel?

Space travellers will go further and space missions will be deeper and longer with advancements in medicine and technology. The space travel we envisage in 2030 means people, who would previously be 'disqualified' as astronauts, will now be fee paying tourists.
