    Space tourism involves recreational space travel for individuals rather than professional astronauts. Several companies are involved in orbital and sub-orbital space tourism, including SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Virgin Galactic. Orbital tourism involves staying in low earth orbit on space stations, while sub-orbital flights go above 100 km. Long-term goals include lunar tourism flights looping around the moon. Legal and environmental concerns surround the emerging space tourism industry.
