ABOUT THIS LESSON
About This Advanced Space Tourism ESL Lesson
Space tourism has turned an experience once limited to professional astronauts into something private customers can buy. For now, however, a few minutes beyond Earth remain available only to the extremely wealthy.
This C1–C2 lesson explores the arguments surrounding private spaceflight: technological progress, extreme cost, environmental impact and whether access to space should depend on wealth.
Students weigh competing claims to a scarce seat in space before developing and defending a condition for public support of private tourist flights.
