The breakthrough of mankind into outer space inspires me with a sense of legitimate pride and confidence in the power of human brain. Our civilisation is now standing in the beginning of the long way of exploring the Galaxy. I think that the XXI century will be the century of large-scale exploration of Solar system and use of near-Earth space for various purposes. For example orbital tours to orbital hotels will become as simple as going from one country to another our days.
