A new race in space.

First Richard Branson in Virgin Galactic

then Jeff Bezos in Blue Origin

and Elon Musk in SpaceX to follow.

Space tourism is a new ‘buzz’

Appears to satisfy the urges of the mighty and wealthy.

It also opens up new avenues of desires and damages,

Given the human record of dealing with our planet.

It is not only costly but also has huge cost to environment.

Billionaires get entertainment,

And may even eventually create an escape route to safe haven for themselves,

Far away from the troubled and dying planet,

But ultimately it all will leave the trails behind,

The trails of destruction.
