Is it safe?

Right now, it’s not entirely clear just how risky space tourism is.

• One way space tourism companies are trying to keep travelers safe is by requiring training so that the people who are taking a brief sojourn off Earth are as prepared as possible.
• On the flight, people can experience intense altitude and G-forces.
• There’s also the chance that space tourists will be exposed to radiation, though that risk depends on how long you’re in space.
• Some tourists will likely barf on the ride.
• There doesn’t seem to be an age limit on who can travel, though.
