Space Travel

Space tourism is an excellent example of how science fiction is becoming science fact. It was featured in the 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey as well as other, lesser-known stories; now, fee-paying passengers can travel to the International Space Station. An increasing number of private companies are taking bookings for sub-orbital and orbital spaceflights. In the longer term, hotels in space and even visits to the moon are planned.
