Navigating in space is vastly different from terrestrial travel. Familiarizing yourself with celestial navigation, the art of navigating by the stars, can enrich your space tourism experience. Understanding the constellations, planets, and other celestial bodies visible from space can provide a deeper connection to the universe and enhance your appreciation of the journey.
