Private space flights have raised significant legal concerns regarding the granting of fundamental human rights to non-astronauts under international law, including appropriate legal guarantees. This study focuses on one area of non-astronaut rights and guarantees designed for food. The need for an international legal statement on what non-astronauts can expect regarding their right to food and the guarantees they are entitled to, even when flying into space, is justified with experimental data. The author seeks to establish a distinct set of space rights and guarantees that build space tourism’s best service accompanied by a fundamental human rights legal core. This will ensure that non-astronauts are afforded the essential legal protection necessary for them to fully experience and uphold happiness during their space journey.
