00:00Space tourism is no longer a dream, it's reality.

00:03This Wednesday, August 28, SpaceX launches the Polaris Dawn mission,

00:06for which four passengers, including billionaire and pilot Jared Isaacman,

00:11will venture 700 km from Earth,

00:13even further than the International Space Station.

00:16If all goes well, it will be the longest space trip

00:19since the lunar missions of the Apollo program.

00:22The crew should also be the first to make a spacewalk

00:27during a private mission.

00:28This mission will allow to test new space suits

00:31for future bases on the Moon and Mars.

00:34But Elon Musk is not the only one in the race.

00:36Jeff Bezos, with Blue Origin, also offers space trips.

00:40According to Quartz,

00:42a ticket for a 11-minute trip at 100 km altitude

00:45would cost about $1.25 million,

00:48while Richard Branson, with Virgin Galactic,

00:51offers flights from 1 hour to 80 km altitude.

00:54At the same time, many companies anticipate the end of the ISS.

00:58Vast, Axiom or Blue Origin

01:00are preparing to build two space stations

01:02that could welcome tourists and scientists by 2025.
