Space Future launch press release
This might be slightly redundant, but then if you don't post the launch
of your site on your own announcement list, where do you? :-)
Press Release - New website 'Space Future' opens
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like sports and sex, you might think that space needs no more web-sites. But
Space Future (www.spacefuture.com) definitely adds something new and
important to the crowd.
Space Future makes a powerful case that travel to space can soon be made as
routine as air travel, simply by focusing development work on passenger
launch vehicles. Market research conducted in the USA, Japan and Europe
clearly shows that space tourism will be very popular. Just like airlines,
the main business of spaceships in the future should be passenger transport.
Far from being "science fiction", as many readers might imagine, Space
Future shows that space travel for the public is now a practical and
desirable objective, and is already the subject of an impressive and
growing amount of professional work. And it could be realized for less
than the cost of a single year of government spending on space worldwide.
The Space Future web-site is divided into four main themes - space tourism,
power from space, living in space, and space vehicles. There are highly
readable discussions of each theme, under several different headings with
references to further work, much of which is included in the site's on-line
archive. With a growing collection of over 50 cross-referenced papers (plus
another 400 references), the archive covers all aspects of the Space Future
theme - from living in zero G, launch vehicle design, power generation,
market research and law to sports, like weightless soccer, and honeymoons
in space - including much little-known work, particularly by Japanese
researchers.
Space Future argues that not only is space tourism possible and sure to be
very popular, it's also going to be profitable - unlike most other space
activities. Browse www.spacefuture.com for yourself - you'll find it hard
not to agree that this is where space development efforts should
concentrated.
It was predicted that the end of the cold war would release enormous
resources from military work. But to date, instead of innovating, the
aerospace industry has shrunk by half! However, even NASA is now due to
produce its first-ever report on space tourism, which is eagerly awaited -
and you can be sure that Space Future will be on their case.
Space Future also introduces you to the numerous exciting new companies who
want to reach the future _today_. Just as IBM didn't invent the
micro-computer, it is small companies which are poised to develop space
tourism, and start the REAL Space Age - when we, the general public, can
follow in the footsteps of Yuri Gagarin and Valentina Tereshkova, Neil
Armstrong and Sally Ride, Toyohiro Akiyama and Helen Sharman, and travel
into space for ourselves.
Space Future, at www.spacefuture.com, offers a refreshing and exhilarating
vision of a space future for us all!
