CHAPTER 4
A FRAMEWORK
FOR SPACE
TOURISM
Space tourism businesses need more than just rockets and
spaceships.
They also need spaceports where craft can blast
off and land. They need teams of trained pilots, mechanics, and
other staff members. Tour companies must also make sure that
their vehicles don’t interfere with or harm airplane traffic, other
space traffic, or people on the ground. They need safety rules
and regulations.
