A Russian actress called Yulia Peresild reached the international space station along with film director Klim Shipenko to make the world’s first film to be shot in space. The movie, which is called ‘The Challenge’, would be shot entirely in space. Earlier while films dealing with space traveling or space, in general, would be shot using CGI; after Bezos and Musk launched their own space-traveling rockets, it has become easy to travel to space. This definitely is an interesting project which could bring about a massive change if it becomes successful. But the question that looms large in all our heads is whether or not space travel should be used for such tasks?

Just because you can do it, doesn’t always mean you should do it. There’s a major difference between ‘can’ and ‘should’ and the rich should realize it by now. Space traveling has definitely become easy but does it make sense to spend such a massive amount on things that are perfectly attainable on Earth. Space traveling exhausts a lot of natural resources and causes a great deal of Pollution. This is what’s troubling a lot of people who have a problem with rich people going to space as a theme-park journey. It has already been proven that space travel is possible so it’s nothing more than a race for millionaires to take part in.
