Space tourism constraints
The development of outer space is increasingly driven by private companies, including ones offering touristic spaceflight. Advances in sub-orbital, orbital, and beyond orbit spaceflight are occurring rapidly. Tourists have already travelled to sub-orbital and orbital space, and tickets have been sold for future trips beyond Earth’s orbit. As commercial space travel continues to drive the development of reusable, economical launch technologies, hu…
Public perceptions of creating heritage sites in outer space
Purpose Spacecraft launch rates, including for tourist flights, have increased rapidly in recent years. Despite these advances, historically and culturally significant sites in space – such as the first human footprints on another celestial body – currently have no binding, international legal protection. Design/methodology/approach This article discusses the emerging concept of “space heritage” and presents a thematic content analysis of the 17-…
Space tourism and sustainable trajectory
Comparative visions of cosmic expansion
The visions of the primary protagonists of the development of outer space diverge in terms of both their motives for and means of extending life into the cosmos. The present article analyses the implications for sustainability associated with the visions of three prominent entities – the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the ‘space entrepreneurs’ who lead the private spaceflight industry (such as Elon Musk, Richard Branson, an…
A psychological wellbeing perspective of long-term disaster recovery following the Canterbury earthquakes
Psychological resilience, organizational resilience and life satisfaction in tourism firms
From a socio-ecological systems perspective, resilience is dynamic, multi-dimensional and multi-scale. This study provides evidence of the relationship between different types of resilience (psychological, employee and organizational resilience) affecting the recovery of tourism organizations after the Canterbury earthquakes in 2010/2011. A survey of tourism business owners and employees (managers) was undertaken five years after the February 201…
Extraterrestrial transitions
Delineating acceptable risk in the space tourism industry
Advances in suborbital, orbital, and beyond orbit space tourism continue to occur at a rapid pace. However, it is uncertain what form this burgeoning industry will take. Some envisage spaceflight as an extension of commercial aviation, a new transport paradigm that would allow flying from London to New York City in less than an hour. Others argue space tourism will remain a niche, high-adrenaline activity suited to adventurers. Finally, space tou…
The cosmic-local nexus
Humankind is increasingly able to travel into outer space. Launch costs have decreased; launch frequencies have increased. These changes are primarily occurring due to private companies becoming heavily involved in space-related activities. Prior discussions of humankind's growing influence beyond the biosphere have begun elucidating the species-wide benefits and issues that are concomitant with the development of outer space. Yet, spacecraft are…
Transhumanism and cosmic travel
This article introduces transhumanism into the study of space travel and tourism. Transhumanism advocates the enhancement of the human body to affect a technological evolution of humans towards a new, advanced species – the posthuman. In contrast to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and most visionary space entrepreneurs, transhumanists envision that human enhancement is a precondition for travel and expansion into the cosm…
Space travel and the limits to growth
Space tourism in the Anthropocene
Organizational resilience and financial performance
Beyond the biosphere
Dominant sustainability discourses commonly situate Earth as the singular realm of human influence and position modern mobility as one of the primary means through which we are destroying the biosphere. The commercialisation of activities in outer space and the development of space tourism have resulted in drastically reduced launch costs, enabling an increased human presence beyond the biosphere. This paper argues that current debates concerning…
Reform in Nineteenth Century China
The Arms of Kiangnan
The Politics of Chinese Communism
The End of Days
Judaic tradition from the 10th century B.C. to the present era, has always attempted to soften the blow of death. In its various aspects, it has engaged both the dying and the remaining living in principles and ceremonies that would make death more acceptable. Of equal importance is the preparation for the end of days through historical, theological, philosophical and psychological approaches. Most of these avenues are of interest and adaptabilit…
Adolescent Behavior Patterns in a Large Typical City
From 100 respondents to a questionnaire sent out by the Ministry of Education of Belgium, patterns of adolescent behavior at home, in school, and in the community were described
Reformer in Modern China
Very few scholarly biographies of Chinese leaders are available in Western languages. Chang Chien, the subject of Professor Chu's fascinating study, was a most unusual Chinese: a truly transitional figure standing astride the late imperial era and the modern day. Although eminently fitted for a distinguished official career, he forsook officialdom to become a modern entrepreneur. Yet he was a most unusual entrepreneur in devoting the profits from…
