Abstract
Once again, I just want to be very clear that no agency or organization requires you to have an understanding of the topics in this manual. These modules do not constitute training requirements and the schedules are suggested timelines for future orbital space tourists who don’t have the time to spend six months in Star City, which has been the template for orbital space tourists since 2001. The intent of this training is not to impose NASA-type astronaut requirements to space tourists: it is designed to enhance your experience as an orbital space tourist and provide you with a basic understanding of key theoretical subjects that relate to your flight. In short, this ground school manual provides you with an understanding of and insight into the theory of operational spaceflight beyond that described in the Suborbital Ground School Manual. It also prepares you for practical training you may perform in preparation for your flight.
