The future of space travel

Yes, I believe that space travel will be common within half a century. Many criticise it wastes of time and money. Priority should be given to other issues on Earth such as poverty and hanger. But I believe that space travel plays an important role to improve technology. Now I’ll focus two aspect of technology improvement.

First, food technology. I’d like to define food technology as tecqunique to preserve delicate taste for a long period even in space.

Let’s take instant noodle for example. The founder of Nissin, Momofuku Andou invented instant noodle. Instant noodle was brough to space shuttle discovery. It contributed to hunger in Africa. Anyway, wecan expect technology leap for food. We would be able to experience three stars restaurant's taste in space craft/perfect Sushi/Tempura through improvement of food technology.

Second, we can expect secondary benefit to all of us. We'll make an effort to achieve space travel. It'd bear good fruit for not only space exploration but also other field. Let's take semiconductor chips as example. Semiconductor chips used in space craft should work under harsh condition -- extremely temperature hot and cold. It's a big challenge to design robust chip which works properly. This kind of effort enhances the quality of electric equipment for our daily life on the earth..

In conclusion, space travel is promising driving force to improve our technology.

We can receive huge benefit from space travel.
