Can we take a flight to space like we take a flight across oceans and countries on an airplane now?

Over 30 years ago, I wrote a paper (for a class at Cleveland State University) drawing the parallels between the story of flight and imagined that the space flight industry would follow a similar path. It’s happening right now!

Let’s delve into the companies bringing this dream to life.

“Private spaceflight companies include non-governmental or privately-owned entities focused on developing and/or offering equipment and services geared towards spaceflight, both robotic and human. This list includes both inactive and active entities.” ~Wikipedia

Next Generation Space Travel Companies

Posted on October 7, 2024 by Pam Hoffman

The next episode of our Friday Night Show airs on October 11th at 9pm Pacific time!

Every flown in a plane to anywhere? Looking forward to going to space?

If you’re watching our Show, chances are good you’d like to go, or you like the idea of space exploration.

If you’ve ever flown on an airplane, you are closer to the end of the evolution of that form of transportation. It’s the same evolution we’re seeing in space travel. We’re somewhere in the beginning of that process though.

Let’s explore the ‘Next Generation’ companies that might take us to space. These are the companies that came AFTER vanguard organizations like Boeing, Lockheed Martin and merged offspring like ULA (United Launch Alliance).

The more recent or ‘Next Gen’ companies are more focused on taking regular folks on sub orbital and orbital trips and beyond, in the near future.

Who will stand the test of time and who will be the ‘Pan Am’ of the future?

Would you like to find an asteroid? With this Citizen Science Project, maybe you can!

“At the Zooniverse, anyone can be a researcher

“The Catalina Sky Survey is a NASA-funded project dedicated to discovering and tracking near-Earth asteroids. Since 1998 we have discovered thousands of near-Earth asteroids and many more main-belt asteroids. We collect an enormous volume of image data. Although we have state-of-the-art cameras, detection software, and a small team of full-time professional observers, we lack capacity to identify and verify all objects of interest. We need your help! Join us to find the unreported main-belt and near-Earth asteroids that slip through the digital cracks of our detection system.” ~Zooniverse
