IELTS Reading: choose the title

Read the following passage, and choose the best title from the list below.

Dennis Tito, an American engineer and multimillionaire, was the first space tourist to fund his own trip into space. In 2001, he spent nearly eight days in orbit as a crew member of ISS EP-1, a visiting mission to the International Space Station, after being accepted by the Russian Federal Space Agency as a candidate for a commercial spaceflight. Tito met criticism from NASA before the launch, primarily from Daniel Goldin, at that time the Administrator of NASA, who considered it inappropriate for a tourist to take a ride into space.

In the decade since Dennis Tito journeyed to the International Space Station, eight private citizens have paid the $20 million fee to travel to space, but it is believed that this number could increase fifteen-fold by 2020. A web-based survey suggested that over 70% of those surveyed were interested in travelling to space, 88% wanted to spacewalk, and 21% liked the idea of staying in a space hotel.

A) A giant leap for tourism in the 21st century.
B) The first space tourist.
C) The pros and cons of space tourism.

[Shane]

well,I think "B" should be the correct answer.

as far as I understand, this passage is all about Tito's space tourist.

the first paragraph gives some facts about it along with other people's attitudes(NASA) in this matter;

the second paragraph talks about the effect/influence of the Tito's space tourist on people's mind (e.g.more people are becoming interested in space travel because Tito did it and enjoyed it)

[Simon]

CORRECT ANSWER FROM SIMON:

A

A 'giant leap' means 'great progress'. It is also a reference to the famous phrase by astronaut Neil Armstrong: "That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind."

Answer B woud be perfect for the first paragraph of the passage, but it doesn't really cover the second paragraph.
