Inspiration: 

Read about all those plans for travelling out of Earth's atmosphere. Mind you, those companies are not the least ones waiting in line to bring you into a higher sphere. And I realized, soon we all will be able to have a view at Earth from out of space. Given the fact you may have to bring a 'little money' of course. But, in theory, we can all become an astronaut. Do we know the effects? No. Do we want to know? Probably not. But I do know, that anyone able to go into space, eventually will. And I am convinced it will effect them.
