SpaceX reckons, well, it can get the cost of landing a paying passenger on Mars down to a cool half a million dollars. 太空探索科技公司認為，他們能夠把付費乘客登陸火星的費用降到整整五十萬美元。
And it's not the only corporation that's looking to the stars and putting a price tag on them. Here is Phil Han. 這也不是唯一一家仰望群星並且貼上標價的公司。菲爾‧韓帶來以下報導。
Course laid in. 航道已輸入。
Maximum warp. Punch it. 曲速引擎動力開到最大，發射。
We may not be flying through space at warp speed just yet, but if Star Trek is any inspiration, we soon could be. 我們目前也許還沒辦法以曲速飛越太空，但如果《星艦迷航記》能有所啟發，那麼很快就有可能做到這一點了。
Virgin Galactic is a pioneer in the space travel industry and will be the first commercial program to offer suborbital flights to paying passengers. 維京銀河是太空旅行業的先驅，也將是第一個提供為付費乘客次軌道飛行的商業計畫。
Tourists will spend $200,000 to have a seat onboard, 遊客必須支付二十萬美元才能買到機位，
but they'll have the pleasure of being over 100 kilometers above Earth and experiencing six minutes of weightlessness. 但他們將能享受置身於距離地表一百公里高空的滋味，並且體驗六分鐘的無重力狀態。
Virgin has also built the first-ever commercial spaceport in New Mexico. It's here that the company will base their current and future space program. 維京也已經在新墨西哥州打造了史上第一座商業太空港。這裡將做為該公司目前及未來太空計畫的基地。
Bloon is another company focusing their efforts on space tourism, but speed isn't a top priority. 布隆是另一家致力於太空旅遊的公司，但速度不是他們最優先的考量。
Four passengers, each paying over $100,000, will float 36 kilometers above Earth. 四名乘客，每人支付超過十萬美元，可在三十六公里的高空中飄浮。
The giant helium balloon will hold a tiny capsule that will offer views of the setting sun and the curvature of the Earth. 巨大的氦氣球會掛載一個小座艙，能觀賞日落與地球的曲線。
But while trips to other planets may seem a long way off, others are turning to new ways of exploring Earth. 不過，雖然前往其他星球旅行看起來也許還要很久才能實現，另外有些人則轉向追求新的方式探索地球。
The Air Cruise is a radical new design in travel that could see 100 guests soaring in a gigantic floating hotel. 「空中巡航」是一種旅遊極新穎的設計，可讓一百位賓客共同在一座巨大的飄浮旅館中飛行。
The hotel would take you to some of the most exotic locations on Earth and will celebrate relaxation over intergalactic travel. 這座旅館將可帶你到世界上若干最奇特的地點，著重放鬆享受，而不是星際之旅。
