Regular tourist trips into space are still a thing of the future, but the government is getting ready for the eventual liftoff.
More than 120 pages of proposed rules, released Thursday, governing the future of space tourism touch on everything from medical standards for passengers to preflight training.
They spell out qualification and training requirements for the crew, and mandate training and informed consent for the "space flight participants" - known in more earthly terms as passengers.
The proposal does not include specifications for the space vehicles themselves.
