Rear View Tourism

The act of deliberately using your rear view mirror to look into the car behind to check out what the driver/occupants are doing.

"Hey man, on the way in this morning, there's this woman punching out her husband in the car behind me. I even started yelling her on."

"You've got to give up this rear view tourism, pal."

Culture War Tourist

A person who infiltrates fandoms and obnoxiously parrots political shit without even being a fan in the first place.

Person 1: Dude, I was discussing the latest Final Star Quest game on Discord, and this random guy kept on parroting stuff I really didn't give a shit about, like "Woke" this and "D.E.I." that and how they were ruining the game like a fucking conspiracy crackhead, guy's so jarring.

Person 2: Don't mind him, he's just a culture war tourist. He probably hasn't played any of the games and probably goons to Lolicon Hentai.

Moon Orbit Tourism

A specific form of moon tourism that takes passengers into lunar orbit without landing on the surface. The most famous example is the planned Artemis II mission, which will send astronauts around the Moon and back. For private tourists, companies like SpaceX have proposed similar “free‑return trajectory” flights: a loop around the far side of the Moon, offering stunning views and days of weightlessness. Moon orbit tourism is technically simpler than landing, making it the likely first step for commercial lunar trips. It offers the thrill of seeing the Moon up close and Earth as a distant marble.

Example: “She booked a moon orbit tourism flight for 2028—no landing, just a slingshot around the far side and back. Enough to say she’d left Earth behind.”

Moon Landing Tourism

The holy grail of lunar travel: actually setting foot on the Moon’s surface. While still purely speculative for private citizens, several companies have announced plans for moon landing tourism packages, including stays in pressurized rovers or inflatable habitats. The experience would include walking in one‑sixth gravity, collecting samples, and looking up at Earth from another world. The cost would be astronomical, and the risks high, but for the ultra‑wealthy adventure seeker, moon landing tourism represents the ultimate status symbol—the only thing rarer than a billionaire is a billionaire who has walked on the Moon.

Example: “The brochure promised moon landing tourism by 2030: a week on the surface, Earthrise every morning, and a certificate signed by the mission commander. Price: one private island.”
