While it still hasn’t become available for the common traveler, there are companies which are making advances towards taking ordinary, non-astronaut humans like you and me to outer space. 

So, just when might we be able to do so? It might not take as long as you might think?

Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic is a British spaceflight company that’s making more and more advances towards commercial passenger space travel. While the flights on this company’s ships would not take you to the moon or to Mars, they will give you the experience to reach suborbital levels in space and experience zero gravity.

Test flights are currently ongoing with more planned for this fall, making it possible that regular travel (albeit expensive) could start as soon as next year.

While it might take a while for this sort of travel to become commonplace, don’t be surprised if space travel turns into one of this decade’s or the next’s biggest travel hits.
