At Tourbit Aerospace, our goal is to make manned commercial space flight routine, safe, and completely accessible to anyone with a desire to travel amongst the stars.

Already having received thousands of queries in regards to getting signed up for spaceflight, potential passengers need to know that commercial spaceflight differs from traditional commercial flight in being subjected to a variety of significant physical strains. Therefore, Tourbit offers training in the following subjects in order to better prepare our space tourists.

Weightlessness
We have spent our entire lives bound to the Earth's surface by the force of gravity. This state of being has naturally caused our bodies and minds to make logical assumptions about the environment and how to navigate it. However, without gravity, the laws of inertia apply - simply put, with just a bit of push, you go in that direction until you stop forcibly or are stopped! In this class, you will discover techniques for stability and mobility, as well as navigation by rail and floating techniques.

Altitude Exposure
As we leave Earth's surface and the spacecraft gains altitude, so our circulatory and respiratory systems need to adjust physically to pressure changes. This is why commercial airlines gradually climb to 30,000 feet and the cabin pressure adjusts with the change in altitude. In commercial spaceflight, you will obviously far exceed 30,000 feet in much less time! We will cover how to deal with the rapid change in altitude and possibilities of hypoxia and hyperventilation with proper breathing.

High G Exposure
The flight into space is a fantastic but rapid journey through Earth's atmosphere. To slip the bonds of gravity is to feel its force more intensely than you have ever experienced it. As Icarus 1023 travels to its sub-orbital destination, you will feel what's known as a 5 to 12 second sustained 4-G pull. This means that your circulatory system will be temporarily operating as if you weighed four times as much! We will teach you how to use the Anti-G Strain technique to properly deal with skeletal muscle contraction and cyclic straining.
