NASA announced on Friday that its side of the International Space Station is open for business.
Daily access to the life support system and toilet will run an amateur astronaut $11,250 per day. Tack on an additional $22,500 a day for food and — air. That all adds up to a nightly tab of about $35,000. And that doesn’t count the flight.
Those flights could be provided by Elon Musk’s SpaceX aboard its Dragon or on Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner as part of NASA’s Commercial Crew Program for an estimated $50 million per person.
All this comes with one little hitch. Neither company has so far transported people beyond the Earth’s atmosphere.
