  Space Tourism- Pleasure v.s Prominence? I gaze into the starry omnipresence above, pondering over it’s insoluble depths, trying to fathom what lies up above. Suddenly, a tumultuous roar penetrates my earbuds, sending my nerves into overdrive, and lighting my nostrils on fire. As I gaze in the direction of the uproar, my cautious confusion is altered into calm curiosity, as I watch as a Gargantuan rocket ship soars up into the space above.
