Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go out into space? Well, you might have the chance. NASA is working on sending private companies out into space. By space privatization, or space travel being privatized, it means that some companies may be able to go out into space all by themselves to do certain things, such as leave or bring things on the ISS (International Space Station).

Big on Vision, Small on Practicality Humans desire to explore the unknown, and the challenge of man diving deeper into space sparks their interest. Presidents John F. Kennedy, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama presented to the public new and exciting goals for space exploration.
