ABOUT THIS LESSON

For centuries, space travel was limited to trained astronauts, but today private companies are opening the door to paying passengers. As commercial space tourism grows, new questions are emerging about who should have the opportunity to go.

This magazine-style English lesson explores the future of space tourism and encourages students to consider who deserves a ticket to space and whether these journeys benefit society.

Students read an original article, learn useful vocabulary, and take part in discussion, critical thinking, speaking, and writing activities that examine one of today's most fascinating debates.

FROM THE ARTICLE

For most of history, only trained astronauts left Earth. Now, anyone with enough money can buy a ticket. Private companies launch paying customers into the sky, and for a few minutes they float in weightlessness and see the curve of the planet below.
