 Travel literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Travel literature is literature which records the people, events, sights and feelings of an author who is touring a foreign place for the sake and pleasure of travel.
Literature that recounts adventure, exploration and conquest is often grouped under travel literature, but it also has its own genre outdoor literature; these genres will often overlap with no definite boundries.
Travel literature is not to be confused with travel guides, usually a series put out by a publisher, each dealing with a particular country, city or region.

 Backpacking (travel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Backpackers are sometimes identified as a subculture of generally youthful travellers dedicated to budget travel.
Backpacking as a form of travel is usually said to have originated in the 1970s with the advent of low-cost jet airplane fares.
Travel to popular but extremely expensive cities such as New York City or London is generally limited to just several days, and backpackers tend to try and fit as much daily sight-seeing as possible in such locations.

 Time travel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Time travel is the concept of moving backward or forward to different points in time, in a manner analogous to moving through space.
Time travel themes in science fiction and the media can generally be grouped into two main types and a third, less common type (based on effect—methods are extremely varied and numerous), each of which is further subdivided.
Additionally, faster than light travel along suitable paths would correspond to travel backward in time as seen by all observers.

 Interplanetary travel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
While manned interplanetary travel (with the arguable exception of the Apollo program) has not yet been achieved, a trip to Mars is probably feasible, even with chemical rocket propulsion, and could probably be achieved within a decade (at most two) if the funds were made available.
By definition, interplanetary travel is travel between bodies in a given star system.
A spacecraft traveling from Earth to Mars via this method will arrive near Mars orbit in approximately 18 months, but because the orbital velocity is greater when closer to the center of mass (ie.

 Supersonic transport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It seemed that there was a good argument for supersonic speeds on medium and long-ranged flights at least, where the increased speed and potential good economy once supersonic would offset the tremendous amount of fuel needed to overcome the wave drag and get there in the first place.
Although the Concorde and Tu-144 were certainly the first aircraft to carry commercial passengers at supersonic speeds, they were not the first commercial airliners to break the sound barrier.
Reaching supersonic speeds requires a considerable amount of power to overcome wave drag, a powerful form of drag that starts at about Mach 0.8 and ends around Mach 1.2, the so-called transonic speed range.

 Travel Literature
Antiquarians of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries created a whole new genre of historical travel literature, but only after the first heroic attempt to record the rapidly decomposing splendour of the middle ages was made in the early 16th century by a man called John Leland, who went mad and died in the attempt.
While literacy was strongly tied to the Christian church, particularly in the earlier part of the middle ages, the literature of travel was not a doctrinally significant text which must be copied meticulously and without error.
Travel literature is a popular genre of published work today.

 Summary Report: 2001 Air Travel Survey
As in previous years' surveys, a major finding of this study is that even the most price-sensitive travelers continue to view basic service and amenities as important components of the overall value of their flight.
Business travelers are especially sensitive to the number of connections in their itinerary; they perceive that each connection represents a $24 loss in value, beyond the reductions in value from increased travel times.
Business travelers indicated that they are willing to pay $18 more to fly with their most preferred carrier as opposed their second most preferred airline, again assuming that all other service elements were equal between the flights.

 Russian space dogs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some human space travellers are grateful to these animals who were sacrificed to pave the way for human space-flight.
Dezik and Tsygan ("Gypsy") were the first dogs to make a sub-orbital flight on July 22, 1951.
Their training included standing still for long periods of time, wearing space suits, being placed in simulators that acted like a rocket during launch, riding in centrifuges that simulated the high acceleration of a rocket launch and being kept in progressively smaller cages to prepare them for the confines of the space capsules.

 Time Travel
Now that we know that it is possible to travel into the future by moving at great speeds, the next problem is how to travel in time a respectable amount without having to sit in a fast moving spaceship for years.
The limitation on this time travel into the past is that it would be impossible to travel back to a time before the machine was originally created.
The proposal of time travel is backed by scientific theory, but that is not enough to make it realistically possible.

 Airliner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Passenger aircraft with fewer than 20 passenger seats are called commuter aircraft or air taxis, depending on their size, and engine and seating configurations (the Beechcraft 1900, for example, has only 19 seats so that it will not qualify as an airliner and may be operated under less strict requirements in most countries).
Well-known and memorable airliners history include the DC-3; the Concorde (operated 1976–2003, by two airlines only, British Airways and Air France, and capable of flying at twice the speed of sound); the Boeing 747 "jumbo jet" (from 1968 to 2005 the only airliner with two passenger decks); and the Boeing 707.
While piston engines were common on propliners like the Douglas DC-3 until the beginning of the jet age, nearly all modern airliners are powered by turbine engines, either turbofans or turboprops, since they operate efficiently at much higher altitudes.
