The Iron Sky -team is looking for your ideas and comments. Join and show your support for Iron Sky.  Space Traffic?I wonder as to the kind of space traffic present in 2018? Is it more / less? Is it more / less secretive? military? or commercial? Have trips to zero gravity and 'space garbage awareness' replaced or joined such fashionable occasions as 'safari'? I would assume the gargantuan 'Waste Management' industry to have taken a large chunk out of the Space Budget Worldwide... The List

Great point, TS :
Perhaps the Suborbtial Freighting community is taking to increased 'manual insurance' (akin to u-boats) protecting the recent major investments in human, chattel, and securities freighting...
via privatized Air Couriers...
States then seek to police the 'incorporated' space...
Perhaps the Lunar Nazi Group sees this as a threat to air dominance.
Also suborbital freight. There are developments in very fast transportation between continents. Will be high-coist so mostly used for couriering and military transportation.

There might actually be a fair amount of space tourism, as there are a number of companies now building craft specifically for recreational flights.
Also there's even been talk of space tourist trips to the moon, not actually landing but just going round it. Apparently if you can get into Earth orbit it's not that difficult to go across to the Moon's orbit and back. So that's another form of space tourism that might actually exist in the near future.
