As former Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Virgin Atlantic boss Richard Branson recently went on historical space travel, space tourism has suddenly grabbed the limelight. Kerala-based entreprenuer Santhosh George Kulangara could become the first person from India to become space tourist. Kulangara was selected by Branson’s Virgin Galactic as a paid space tourist in 2007. "Space tourism is purely a futuristic business. I foresee colonisation of other planets and initiatives such as space tourism are just means to that end," Kulangara added.
