The more and more I read more into crash reports and look into incident reports I feel that aviation has gotten t be a safer form of travel. However I do not feel that aviation will ever be truly safe. We have invented and drafted many types of legislation, rules, and technologies for the growing aviation

Space—the final frontier. Ever since the beginning, man-kind has dreamt of escaping the world around us and soaring high, up into the clouds. Many people today still share those same dreams, but they are now looking past the clouds, past the moon to a red planet we call Mars. Three companies are in a race to colonize Mars: NASA, SpaceX, and Mars One. Colonizing Mars will lead to many positive outcomes—new technologies, economic advantages, more jobs, and ideas to avert the population crisis of the future.

Technological developments have both created new opportunities as well as threats for the aviation industry.

The day of 9/11 sparked the attention of the aviation industry, citing that it will never be the same again. Different sectors

Instead of moving forward with technology we are using technology that has been present but just redesigning and improving it. My intention here is that with private companies trying to find methods of making their own advance method of exploring space, it is evident that they plan to charge people to take them on these space travels. For example, Musk is making the airframe completely renovated with special welding, ‘stir welding,’ and Dragon, which are great ideas. With the progress of private companies, it is evident that we are getting closer to sending humans to space.

These are the kind of bold ideas that make Tesla so popular. Sure, Richard Branson is heading for Mars, but will we all be getting a golden ticket to accompany him to the red

NASA could be relieved of the routine task of sending astronauts and cargo into space by encouraging private companies to develop the next generation of traditional rockets. Companies, such as Boeing, would be able to do the job more efficiently and at a much lower cost than NASA could (Johnsson, 2010). NASA would be able to commission private companies to build rockets that would suit a particular need much like the various branches of the military do for their own vehicles.

Now with anything in the future imagining what life holds ahead of us is guessing however I will use Star Trek Enterprise as a guide. The reason I will assume Star Trek Enterprise is like the future is due to the fact that it is the brink of space travel reaching out to the furthest reaches of the galaxy. With this in mind the technology while great is not a whole lot more advanced to what is being built today. In 2151 the launch of space travel opening a new age of exploration for Earth and mankind.

Even though there will be flying cars, some people may still stick with the original or use self driving cars. In the future, there will also be teleportation in grocery stores. Where a person can file out their order for the food, and then automatically teleport the food to their house. Speaking of houses, houses will be smarter in the future; having the ability to talk. These new inventions will greatly differ our lives; but will be quite

President George Bush signed into law The Vision 100 – Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act in 2003. The concept and plans for a new, multi-year, multi-agency effort to develop an air transportation system for the year 2025 and beyond was born out of that law. Approximately one year later, an integrated plan for the Next Generation Air Transportation System aid out the goals, the objectives, and the requirements necessary to create the NextGen

Passenger air travel has been forecasted to increase to over 1 billion persons annually by 2023. This

The NextGen system is an advanced technological based system that will improve the entire aviation industry if implemented. Currently the aviation industry relies in outdated technology for air transportation which does not allow for the maximum potential efficiency the industry has. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (2018), if NextGen technology is implemented into the national airspace system it will decrease travel and weather delays, optimize fuel conservation, decrease environmental concerns, reduce FAA and air carrier operating cost, and revolutionize air navigation methods and procedures to provide maximum efficiency. Although NextGen technology has the capability of improving and revolutionizing the national airspace system and aviation industry it creates many issues for its implementation.

Space tourism, which offers a unique type of adventure, is no longer a dream or fantasy, but it is nearly materialized. Currently, companies in Russia, Europe, and the United States are competing to become future leaders of space tourism. Bigelow

During the perceived recent stagnation of NASA activity, there have been several successful efforts by private manned spacecraft to penetrate the Earth’s atmosphere. A few citizens and celebrities have even ventured out into space. However, will be a long time before space tourism is both profitable for suppliers and affordable for middle class society.

Over the course of human history there has always been a strong drive to explore and travel to new and exciting places. Space exploration has captured the imagination of the general public for the last 30 years; it is only natural that people are now beginning to ask if and when they too might venture into space. Space and tourism have both developed at an equally rapid pace, and the potential of both together is definitely going to grow further. Although human spaceflight is currently the privilege of a few space-exploring nations, recent advances in space technology and entrepreneurship are about to change the status quo. China, with the assistance of Russian technology, was able to place an astronaut in space in 2003 in a fraction of the time that it took other space powers, such as the USA and USSR, to do this. The first credible private space-tourist venture is already a reality. The first space tourist, Denis Tito, flew in 2001 in a government vehicle, although his flight was privately funded, whilst in 2004 the first spaceship became a reality.
