Want to buy a ticket to the space station? NASA promises that it will soon become a reality.
National Aeronautics and space administration (NASA) plans to open the International space station for commercial business, including tourism.
On Friday, may 7, NASA announced that it would allow any interested person to visit the ISS is the only place where people currently live outside of the planet.
It will be a pleasure not cheap. To sleep on the beds of the station and to use its facilities, including air, water, Internet and toilet, you will have to pay $35 million in one night. In addition, tourists will need to pay for the flight there and back to the carrier company. The flight will likely be involved in the company SpaceX Elon musk.

«For us, it’s a completely different way of doing business,» said William H. Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for NASA’s exploration and exploitation of people, at a press conference at the Nasdaq in new York.
This solution can also help solve questions about the future of the space station. The administration trump last year’s uproar, when he proposed to stop Federal funding of the International space station by the end of 2024 and go to commercial alternatives.
