The Spaceflight Preparation Program
The Spaceflight Preparation Program is designed to change the Space Tourist into an Astronaut by giving you all the same experiences that professionals before you have had before they embarked on their historic missions. We believe it is the best preparation available right now anywhere in the world. We also believe that the program itself provides an thrilling experience of Astronaut training and is open to anyone who wants to experience that without the need to commit to a spaceflight.

The day of your flight has now arrived and you are being briefed by your pilot on the various procedures that will soon be put into practice. The spacecraft can be seen out of the window sitting vertically on the launch pad, gleaming in the Sun. As you stride out on to the tarmac, you give a wave to your friends and family seated at the front of the viewing gallery and the press snap away so they can put pictures of the first Private European Astronauts in their papers tomorrow morning.
Climbing the steps up to the hatch you break a wry smile as you mutter under your breath, "One small step for me..." As the last of the straps are locked into place, your pilot turns round and gives a thumbs up, you return the gesture and look out at the blue sky ahead.
5....4....3....2....1...... Vibration builds and then the world around you starts to descend, suddenly you feel yourself being pressed back against the seat and it is then you realise that you and the spacecraft are accelerating upwards. After only a few minutes the blue sky begins to turn purple and then black. There is silence as the engine is shut off and you feel light as a feather. The curved blue Earth is highlighted by gleaming Sun and the black backdrop of Space is littered with pinhole points of starlight. You are released from your seat and float upwards, weightless and free to peer out of the window back at the Earth and beyond into Space.
After several minutes of taking in the views and interacting in micro-gravity with your fellow astronauts, the spacecraft begins to bank and turn back towards the Earth and the pilot requests that astronauts now return to their seats. Your restraints come back down and the ship begins the process of re-entry. This is where your anti-g straining technique really comes into play. Once back within the Earth’s protective atmosphere we gently glide down and land on the runway back at the spaceport. Somehow the Earth seems different, a smaller, more beautiful and much more fragile place than it did only a few hours ago.

Our company has set out with a goal to expand civilisation beyond the confines of our shrinking planet. If this sounds like fantasy or science fiction, it is at the moment. Realistically people cannot move off world until Space becomes profitable and establishes its own economy.
It is our mission to use current technology to give thousands of people the chance to fly into space and to realise its glory. This is the first step to creating a space economy. Proceeds from these sub-orbital flights will be ploughed into R&D generating new reusable orbital space ships for you to experience longer duration space flights. Vacations to permanent orbital hotels will be a reality within 20 years.
Zero gravity games played in orbital stadiums will attract more revenue and mining of natural resources from other planets and asteroids will not only allow, but will require people to live and work in space. Book a sub-orbital space flight with Worldview and we will ensure your name will be written down as a pioneer in the development of the future of the human race.
