suborbital tourism
Suborbital tourism involves taking passengers on brief trips to the edge of space, typically reaching about 100 kilometers (62 miles) above Earth's surface. During these flights, travelers experience a few minutes of weightlessness and see the curvature of the Earth, providing a unique perspective without entering orbit. These journeys are conducted using specialized spacecraft or aerospace vehicles designed for quick ascent and descent. Suborbital tourism offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience of space sensation at a fraction of the cost and complexity of orbital missions, opening space travel to civilians in a safe and accessible way.
