The reading states that privatizing space tourism will benefit both science and public and provides three reasons of support. The professor disagrees with the article and refutes each of author's reasons. First, the reading claims that space flights will become a lot cheaper if they get privatized. The professor refutes the statement by explaining that private companies will need to have elaborate space traffic control in order to avoid collisions. He also mentions that safety is another issue. He says that spacecrafts require to be tested and re-tested which cost a lot of money. This is why professor does not believe the price would go down. Second, the article avers that privatizing space traveling will accelerate the rate of discoveries. The lecturer opposes this statement by saying that this will cause delay or prevention of discoveries. He explains that private companies would hire the best and brightest scientists and engineers with high salaries for the space tourism and since space tourism does not have scientific value, this would cause problems for serious spacecrafts because they would not have as many expert staff. Third, the reading states that privatizing space tourism would decrease financial burden for taxpayers. The professor refutes the reason by explaining that private space tourism is impossible without taxpayers' money. He says that spaceship and space stations need billions of dollars to be built and function and private companies will not be able to raise enough funds for that. He explains this will force taxpayers to pay even more tax to subsidize vacation of people who travel to space.
