- Title
Space Tourism: Waiting for Ignition.
- Authors
Doule, Ondřej
- Abstract
Space tourism is in its infancy, having been launched a little over a decade ago by billionaire businessman Dennis Tito's venture into Space. Ondřej Doule, Assistant Professor of Human-Centered Design and Aerospace Engineering at the Florida Institute of Technology, and Chair of the Space Architecture Technical Committee at the AIAA, considers the shift that will have to be made in designing Space Architecture as space shuttles and stations transition from being ostensibly high-security labs into floating hotels.
