The final chapter of this work served three main purposes. Initially, a brief
summary of the overall book was presented. Next a series of major conclusions derived
from this study were discussed. One section of this chapter addressed some caveats and
limitations pertaining to this historical/critical analysis of commercial space tourism and
the accompanying strategic communication. A postscript provided an update on recent
related space policy developments.
