Astronomer: As commercial space industry takes off, there will be accidents and people will die.

The Polaris Dawn mission will push the envelope of risk for civilians in space.

The fatality rate of people traveling in space is about 3% , but it's higher than extreme sports such as BASE jumping or jumping off a cliff wearing a wingsuit.

The mission will also include a spacewalk, the first for nongovernment astronauts.

Astronaut: Polaris Dawn will travel higher than any previous mission that did not go the moon.

SpaceX makes money by launching satellites and ferrying supplies and people to the International Space Station .

Virgin Galactic offers a short, suborbital ride for $ 450,000 , but getting to Earth orbit will cost you $55 million .

The space tourism market was $750 million in 2023 , and that's projected to grow to $5.2 billion over the next decade .
