Commercial space travel is a completely new concept that the world has never had to worry about before. With SpaceX's recent launch of the Falcon Heavy rocket , it has become clear that the lack of regulations for commercial space travel could prove to be dangerous.
While SpaceX has created the first fully reusable rocket, their launch showed the lack of responsibility by those coordinating the launch.
While the technology developed shows incredible promise, if SpaceX and other commercial space travel companies cannot show responsibility, then they shouldn't be allowed to carry out these largely unregulated flights.
Many things are taking place:
The Avengers' New Space-Travel Tech Looks a Lot Like the MCU's
Warning: The following contains spoilers for Avengers #27 by Jason Aaron, Ed McGuinness, Mark Morales, Jason Keith and Cory Petit, on sale now.
After the Marvel Legacy relaunch, the Avengers established a new base of operations in the form of the massive, cosmic body of a dead Celestial. Thanks to its ancient but highly advanced nature, the Celestial offers plenty of room for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, as well as useful defense systems and technologies they never had access to before.
On your way back from space? Watch out for leaky gut
Experiencing the weightlessness of space could compromise the ability of the gut epithelial barrier to keep foreign cells out of the body, according to study results published in Scientific Reports .
“Our findings have implications for our understanding of the effects of space travel on intestinal function of astronauts in space, as well as their capacity to withstand the effects of agents that compromise intestinal epithelial barrier function following their return to Earth,” Declan F. McCole , PhD, of the division of biomedical sciences at the University of California, Riverside, said in a press release.
How Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos portray their space races as philanthropy - Axios
Billionaires Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are casting the fortunes they've spent on building new rockets to help humankind escape our home planet as a far greater legacy than funding more terrestrial good deeds.
The big picture: They're reframing for-profit businesses — SpaceX and Blue Origin — in philanthropic terms.
* * *
Keep in mind: SpaceX brings in billions from government and commercial contracts, and Blue Origin is chasing after those contracts to get its launch business up and running.

Nasa Unveils Its Plans for a Lander to Deliver Rovers to the Moon | Digital Trends
NASA already has plans to send one rover to the moon , but with the upcoming Artemis mission , the agency is planning other lunar explorers including a mid-sized lander. It unveiled its plans for an as-yet-unnamed lander that could deliver a rover to the polar regions of the moon, where it is thought that water ice is located .
The lander would be delivered via NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services program, which contracts private companies to provide transportation services between earth and the moon. NASA has already announced that it plans to use a private company to deliver the VIPER rover which will hunt for lunar ice to the moon in around 2022, as part of its plans to cut the cost of space travel by commercializing aspects of the logistics.
Should we go back to space? - Opinion - The Register-Guard - Eugene, OR
Among the many problems that face us here on Earth is the question: Should we leave Earth? More specifically, should our government be funding travel into space.
One side believes space travel is an important and interesting branch of science that has more potential and should be researched. The other believes the government has much more important things to be spending money on, and that it's too dangerous.
I believe space does, in fact, have more to offer us. We should go back. NASA takes up less than 0.5% of the government's budget, which seems a bit low no matter how you look at it.
Space shuttle mock-up may be headed for Bloomington as part of proposed Challenger Learning
Bloomington soon may become home to a full-size mock-up of a space shuttle as part of the Upper Midwest’s first Challenger Learning Center, a STEM-centric education center with space-themed simulations.
The City Council has approved up to $15,000 to support a feasibility study for a proposed education facility, called the Center for Inspiration, that would house a Challenger Learning Center as well as the Inspiration shuttle.
The Inspiration is a plastic-and-wood prototype built in the early 1970s to promote the shuttle program. Unlike retired existing shuttles that were actually flown in space, the Inspiration hasn’t been committed to a museum.
