Space tourism. The very term sounds like something from the far distant future. However, it is currently 2020, and this year could very well be the year in which the super-wealthy begin travelling to space as tourists.

SpaceX conducted a successful static fire of the Falcon 9 to be used for the Jan. 18 In-Flight Abort test.
