"Cosmic tourist" is a new honorary title for people who visited cosmos. (From the ideas of Vladimir Zalessky). An essay.
The active work of Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos in the field of space tourism puts on the agenda the establishment and conferring the title of "Cosmic tourist" ("Space Tourist").
Such a title could be awarded by an organization that would have been created by Musk, Branson and Bezos.
In this case, the space tourist's badge of honor (medal) could include an emblem of the following elements:
1) At the base - the profiles of Musk, Branson and Bezos (in the case, if will be an agreed position regarding the candidacy, whose merit was the launch of the first space tourist Dennis Tito (2001), the profile of this person can be also depicted).
2) Along the circumference - symbolic images of the Soyuz TM-32 spacecraft (on which the first space tourist Dennis Tito made a flight into space in 2001), CrewDragon - Musk's ship, SpaceShipTwo - Branson's ship, New Shepard - Bezos' ship. (Options are possible).
3) In the center - a stylized image of the Earth and the Sun (option: the Earth and the Solar System) with a stylized image of a spacecraft flying over the Earth. Below is the name and surname of the space tourist.
Reaching agreement is not always an easy question. When and under what conditions Musk, Branson and Bezos will create the organization to confer the honorary titles "Space Tourist"?
Suppose, for example, Jeff Bezos (or his company Blue Origin) decided to award the Space Tourist title without any participation (of the other famous figures).
In this case, the title of honor itself can be modified. Of course, no one able to ban Jeff Bezos (or his company) to assign (to award) with the title of "Space Tourist". But a variant is also possible: "Blue Origin's Space tourist".
An emblem for a medal (or commemorative sign) could look like this.
At the base of the medal are the profiles of Konstantin Tsilokovsky and Herman Obert.
Around the circle - images of the Soyuz TM-32, CrewDragon, SpaceShipTwo spacecraft.
In the center, against the background of a stylized image of the Earth and the Sun (option: Earth and the Solar System), there is a stylized image of the New Shepard ship. The year of the flight, the name and surname of the space tourist are indicated next to it.
When making a commemorative sign in the form of a medal on a block, the block can be covered with a three-color ribbon (color stripes - horizontal; the upper one - orange, middle one - blue, lower one - green).
The reverse side of the medal is a stylized image of spaceship flying from Earth to Mars.
The solution to the problem when awarding by Elon Musk or by Richard Branson (or their companies) the title of "Space Tourist" may look similar (in a same manner).
The enormous attention of the media around the world to the Astronaut Badge, to the conditions under which participants of cosmic flights are awarded with Astronaut Badge, forecasts regarding the market for tourism services (according to some, unconfirmed estimates, this market will soon reach 4 (four) billion US dollars) - all this directs the question of establishing the title "Space tourist" towards a practical plane.
