One difference that a private space flight has from national or scientific projects is that it is inseparable from the tourism industry. Advertisements for these private space flights use the same phrases as those used by "exploration tours" to the Amazon rainforest or Antarctica. The phenomenon of tourism today is closely related to globalization. Exploration of the Amazon or Antarctica by ordinary tourists has been enabled by the development of transportation and communication technologies in the process of globalization. This shows that private space flights are categorized as similar to or the extension of sightseeing tours on the ground. In other words, this is "space tourism." We may reasonably consider space tours to be an extension of these exploration tours. Thus, they would be a tool that provides an old experience or one that is a projection of the image on the ground. This raises another serious problem. When people begin to consume the place called "space," an industrial system that supports this consumption may develop; however, we cannot expect other possibilities of space activities or scientific results to develop. In so-called "exploration tours," tourists would simply reproduce their own image, but completely ignoring reality of the space., 形態: カラー図版あり, Physical characteristics: Original contains color illustrations, 資料番号: AA1530028005, レポート番号: JAXA-RM-14-012E}, title = {The Humanistic Approach to Space Exploration: A Cultural Anthropological Look at Space Tourism}, year = {2015} }
