The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) and Tripadvisor have launched a new content platform that features reviews and content from people who have traveled to space. The online review site supports space tourism, exploration, and education.
In addition to space reviews, the “Destination: Space” platform provides links for the public to book space experiences, and features information to visit space-themed locations, including museums and science centers. The site also lists rocket launches, STEM learning opportunities, and online space resources, with information provided by experts and enthusiasts working in the space community.
The first space review is by Dr. Sian “Leo” Proctor, who is notable as the first African American woman to pilot a spaceship, paint in space, and serve on the SpaceX Inspiration4 mission, the first all-civilian orbital mission.
“AIAA is dedicated to accelerating humanity’s future in space through fostering innovative collaborations inside and outside of the space industry. We are thrilled to work closely with Tripadvisor, a global online travel market leader, to promote space as an increasingly accessible destination,” said Brian Talbot, AIAA vice president of revenue development, marketing, and communications. “With the launch of ‘Destination: Space,’ Tripadvisor joins the emerging ecosystem of non-aerospace companies and new industries that now see space as an opportunity.”
