Is it possible to fly tourists to the Moon?
“Space X is a commercial company and as the sector develops prices will eventually drop, just as aeroplane travel evolved from the early days of expensive flights to the modern era of budget airlines.” Will SpaceX be ready to fly tourists around the moon?
What can you do when you land on the Moon?
Explore. Once you land on the moon, it’s time to take that one small step and explore the lunar surface. While there, you can gather lunar rocks and dust for analysis on Earth, and if you brought along a collapsible lunar rover as the Apollo 15, 16, and 17 missions did, you can even hot-rod on the lunar surface at up to 11.2 mph (18 km/hr).
Is it possible to put a bird on the Moon?
Technicality: the bird could be placed in a low orbit around the moon complete with breathing apparatus. So yes, a bird *can be made to* fly astronautically on the moon but not using its innate biological capacity for aerodynamic flight. I think it violates Newton’s 3rd. Law. Action up reaction none. As in conservation of momentum.
Is it possible for an airplane to fly in space?
In space, of course, there is no air whatsoever. Without the presence of air, neither a large airplane nor a small airplane will produce lift. There’s simply no air to travel over and under an airplane’s wings in space, which is a main reason airplanes can’t fly in space.
Is it possible for a bird to fly on the Moon?
If there is no air, there is nothing for a bird to apply any forces to to keep aloft. Technicality: the bird could be placed in a low orbit around the moon complete with breathing apparatus.

How soon can we Fly to the Moon as space tourists?
Many people are fascinated about the possibility of being able to travel to space and BBC audiences have been asking when will they be able to holiday beyond the stratosphere. Libby Jackson, who is Human Spaceflight and Microgravity Programme Manager at the UK Space Agency, said there could be developments in as little as three years’ time.
What happens when you go to the Moon?
Once you have left the relative safety of orbiting the Earth, if there were any issues the occupants would have to deal with these with the help of Mission Control.
