Dawn of Space Tourism
NASA is opening the International Space Station (ISS) to commercial business, including to space tourists.  For $35,000 per night and a $50 million ticket for a rocket ride, 2 private citizens a year can take a space vacation or do research aboard the ISS for up to 30 days.  This is a mega-change for NASA.  It reflects a decision by NASA to go commercial with the ISS and globally in space.  NASA's first private citizen trip to the ISS is expected in early 2020.

The Space Economy - The Ride of Your Life
Space is developing an economy of its own.  Billionaire entrepreneurs like Elon Musk with his SpaceX and Amazon's Jeff Bezos with his Blue Origin are building and launching powerful rockets to explore the Moon and colonize Mars.  Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic has promised space vacations for tourists and has successfully tested its spacecraft vehicles.  And, just yesterday Bigelow Aerospace announced that it has given deposits to SpaceX to fly up to 16 people on four different trips to the ISS.  The space economy is in orbit.  For a FREE Kindle borrow of my travel innovation books, go to amazon.com/author/ekane .  ACX has provided me FREE codes for my audiobook "Important Innovations Collection:  Travel"  If you'd like one, email me at ejkane2@gmail.com
