Prediction 1: Space Flight Bookings
Currently, there are only three giant companies ready to fly to space.
●Blue Origin (Owner: Jeff Bezos)
●Virgin Galactic (Owner: Richard Branson)
●SpaceX (Owner: Elon Musk)
However SpaceX isn’t ready till 2024. In that case there would be only the first 2 companies that can take you to space for now.
The potential space tourists had booked 10-15 years ago. So there will be no new bookings. If you want to travel to space you will have to wait at least for 2-3 years.
