Space Travel Of The Future: 7 Vehicles That May One Day Take You To Space
This article breaks from normal layout. Instead, each section provides a big image or video of the space craft along with a short reading about the vehicle. Several of these designs are already functional prototypes (a working first model). One of the things I find most interesting about these vehicles is that many of the companies are designing their ships to allow normal, everyday people to travel to space and back. There may soon be a time when people take 'space flights' just as easily as normal airline travel.
Check out the different vehicles and come to class ready to share which one you found the most interesting and exciting. I've already picked mine!

When our family went to Disney World, I made sure we took a side trip to NASA at the Kennedy Space Center. I have always been fascinated by space travel and with Neil Armstrong passing on, I have been even more interested in the up and coming space travel. This article was different but I am a visual person and this article was much more appealing to read. I have friends who work at Lockheed Martin and can tell me general tidbits of the up an coming "spaceships". I have seen some of these prototypes in progress. What a fascinating article.
