Ideal partner would be a tourism/entertainment corporation or an individual willing to plan, co-invest and operate tourism program in conjunction with the existing space program

+ What is it about your idea that makes you feel good?

The idea, if implemented, will give jobs to local communities and contribute to wild life conservation in affected areas spanning hundreds of miles around the space launch facilities.

+ What makes your idea innovative? Why has no one ever done it before?

Space tourism is usually associated with sub-orbital flights however the underrated chunk of the product is with a) visiting the cosmodrome and watching the rocket launch live and museums of the first austronaut Gagarin and b) seeing capsule return from the international space station back on Earth wich involves scounting the area in search for the capsule after it lands, watching the capsule unsealed and welcoming austronauts back home.

+ Who will benefit the most from your idea?

Local communities who are now affected by the operations of the space launch (spill of fuel, radiation).

+ Ideally, when would you launch this idea?

Two years from now

+ Indicate which UN goals your idea relates to?

No Poverty

Decent Work and Economic Growth

Life on Land

+ At Sigmund, we are interested in ideas at the intersection of People, Planet, and Profit. How does your idea relate to these three categories?

The increased Profit from running the project will help mitigate the impact on the Planet since the operations of the space program leave huge carbon footprint on People and eco-system (flora and fauna).
