You might not be able to take a trip into space right now, but in the near future , we may all have access to the outer atmosphere. Private spaceships are taking reservations - at a cost - for flights into space. In the meantime, a Japanese company says it is developing a space elevator. The elevator, which will carry 30 passengers, will stretch from a base on the ground up to a space station 36,000 kilometers (22,000 miles) above the earth. It will take eight days to reach the space station. Luckily, the elevator will have beds and entertainment on board. The company says it may be ready by 2050.
