Soon there will be something new for the tourist who has been everywhere and seen everything on Earth. Spacecraft being developed by private commercial companies will soon enable private citizens to buy their own tickets to travel into space, thereby creating a space tourism industry. so far, space travel has been undertaken only by governments, but the new, privatized spaceflight industry will bring great benefits to both science and the public.

First, private space travel will benefit serious space exploration by making spaceflight cheaper. Privatization of space technology will bring technological costs down very fast because it will allow competition--and competition is one of the strongest motivators to cut costs. Thus, lowering the cost of space travel will benefit not only space tourists but also scientists, who will be able to use private space flights for research purposes.

Furthermore, privatization of space travel will accelerate the rate at which important scientific discoveries occur. the aerospace industry already sponsors a lot of groundbreaking scientific research, and adding private spaceflight companies to it will make the industry as a whole grow in size, thereby employing more scientists than it does now. that increased number of working scientists means not only that more discoveries are likely to be made but also that those discoveries are likely to be made more quickly than in the past.

Finally, when governments are the sole providers of space travel, the costs are paid for by the whole taxpaying public, but with privatization, the expenses of space travel will be borne by the customers of the industry. The fact that private spaceflight operators will be able to raise funds through ticket sales means that the financial burden on taxpayers will be eased significantly.

The article and lecture are about the privatization of spaceflights. The article states that
the privatization of the space industry will benefit everyone. He provides three reasons for how it will benefit. However, the Professor casts doubt on what the article states and refutes each of the other reasons.

To begin with, the article claims that private space travel will benefit serious space
exploration by making spaceflight cheaper. It also mentions that the lower cost of space travel will benefit scientists who can use private space flights for research purposes. However, The professor rebuts this claim by stating that privatization will only increase the cost of spaceflight. He says that space control system for operation of more flights, safety testing and maintaining issues all this will eventually add to the increase in costs of space flight.

Second, privatization will accelerate the rate at which discovery is occurring due to more and more scientists will be hired by aerospace industries due to the low cost of space travel. In contrary, the professor states that private companies will be hiring more scientists by paying heavy salaries and thus the scientists will be working more on commercial agenda rather than research work. Thus this will decline the rate of discoveries.

Third, the article posits that since the government is the only provider of space travel this is causing more burden on the whole taxpaying public. Since privatization will be able to raise funds through the tickets thus it will reduce the burden on the taxpayer and the expenses of the space industry will be borne by the customers of the industry only. However, the lecturer opposes this point by pointing out that the privatization will require billions of dollars to establish a space station, airport, etc since no private companies will be able to raise this huge fund and will require subsidies from the government. This will eventually impose more burden on the taxpayer because of more tax will be taken by the government to help privatization.
