That’s right; tourists are now paying big bucks to travel into space with astronauts! The first space
tourist was Dennis Tito, an American businessman. In 2001, he paid about $20 million to ride on a
Russian rocket to the International Space Station. The Space Station circles 220 miles above Earth. Tito
stayed on the station for a week, hanging out with astronauts and eating space food. The latest space
tourist was Anousheh Ansari, an Iranian-born woman from the United States who went to the Space
Station in mid-September 2006.
How safe is space travel? Apart from the risk of crashing, space tourists have some special things to
worry about. Earth’s atmosphere protects us from dangerous radiation from the sun. Space travelers
are exposed to more of the sun’s rays. But for tourists spending only a few days or weeks in space, the
radiation probably isn’t harmful.
A bigger problem might be space sickness. Without Earth’s gravity to hold them down, visitors to the
Space Station float around inside the craft. It may look like fun on TV, but it can make first-time space
travelers dizzy and sick. Luckily, the sickness usually wears off quickly. Then space tourists can enjoy
their trip and the amazing view of Earth.
1. How much did the first space tourists pay for his tour?
………………………………………………………………………………………………
2. When did Dennis Tito travel into space?

3. Who was the latest space traveller?

4. Why are space travelers exposed to more radiation?
A. Their spacesuits are too thin to protect them.
B. They lack protection provided by Earth’s atmosphere.
C. They stay in the space for such a long time.
