Women Venture Into Space Tourism

When we were growing up, space missions were launched by the wealthy governments of countries like Russia and the USA to advance science and technology and improve various aspects of human civilisation. India’s missions were of special interest as they felt closer to home. However, the recent launch of an all-women team of six celebrities — who have excelled in diverse professions — on April 14, 2025, has given an entirely new meaning to space travel. Today, space trips are no longer limited to advancing science and technology — they can simply be for tourism.
