Mars Panel Sees Affordable Space Travel
Forget about Hawaii or the slopes of Aspen, future vacations
could truly be an out-of-this-world experience. This is what some
scientists believe may be the future fad in holiday travel. They
claim everyday space travel could become affordable for tourists
and sightseers within a few years. This group of entrepreneurs and
scientists made their case Wednesday at a hearing on travel to the
moon and then to Mars. The meeting at the Georgia Institute of
Technology is part of a series of public hearings before a
presidential commission about the feasibility of the moon-Mars
concept. The commission will forward its findings to the president
in June.
