People have dreamed of life in space since long before Alan Shepard took his first televised golf swings on the moon, but so far the experience of microgravity has been reserved for a select few. So when will you get to tee off on a lunar afternoon? Astronauts aboard the International Space Station are hard at work using both body and mind to learn what humans need to live in space long-term -- and maybe even on Mars. Back on Earth, corporations compete to design new rocket ships and plan the future of space tourism, complete with space hotels. You can book your seat on Virgin Galactic today! Or, if you just can't wait, take a flight on G-Force One and experience 15 parabolas of weightlessness. That beats the thrill ride version of escaping gravity any day!
