How is the Entertainment Industry Helping to Spark People's Interest in Space Travel?
What was once considered to be a topic of science fiction is now a reality. Humanity is expanding its frontier and venturing into space with more frequency than ever before. There are numerous exciting missions taking place at the moment, with the arrival of the Perseverance Rover on Mars representing a landmark event in NASA's history.
In the next fifty years, there are going to be countless missions, all of which will outdo the one that came before it. For this reason, the need to spark people's interest in space has never been greater. One of the best ways to do this is through the entertainment industry.

First space hotel for travelers to begin construction by 2026 - The Washington Post
While the concept of space tourism may sound ludicrous, plans to launch people into space as a vacation vs. a vocation are well underway .
Orbital Assembly , a large space construction company, announced this year in a virtual event on its YouTube channel that it was on track to begin construction on the world's (er, galaxy's) first space hotel by 2026, Interesting Engineering reported .
"It's going to happen fast when it starts," Blincow said. "And we believe it's going to happen a lot, too, even before we finish the first one. We have buyers for other stations because they're very, very lucrative."
A Look at the First Hotel in Space Coming in 2027 - Space Hotel Photos Travel Voyage Station
The Orbital Assembly Corporation has announced plans to begin construction of what will be the first space hotel , which is set to open in 2027. In addition to being designed for the most comfortable accommodations, the hotel named the Voyager Station will also be the place for restaurants, cinemas, and spas.
Based on its first renderings, the hotel will look almost like a ferris wheel floating in orbit with an outer ring connected to the center of the structure via elevators. Although the number of rooms have not yet been confirmed, the Washington Pos t reports that the hotel will have a capacity of up to 280 guests and 112 crew members—all of whom must undergo training for space.
Going interstellar with a sun-skirting probe | Hub
How's this for a paradox: In order to go farther from the sun than we've ever gone before, first we must go closer to the sun than ever before. That's the counterintuitive concept at the heart of the Interstellar Probe mission in development at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, in collaboration with NASA . The mission's primary goal is to explore the far-off region where our sun's influence wanes and interstellar space begins.
Spearheading a way to accomplish this feat is Jason Benkoski, a materials scientist at APL. His team plans to attempt the first-ever solar Oberth maneuver , which involves flinging a spacecraft tightly around the sun and firing a thruster, allowing the star's gravitational pull to accelerate the craft to tremendous velocities.
