Space Tourism vacation
For over two years now SpaceX has been successfully ferrying astronauts to the ISS.
In September 2021, SpaceX launched the Inspiration4 which was the first all-civilian crew.
Richard Branson’s company, Virgin Galactic, and Blue Origin CEO Jeff Bezos both have done maiden voyages with a variety of space adventurers. Although the two space tourism companies just achieve low orbit and are time limited.
Russia has been hosting tourists at the space station and the original Mir station. And last year a Russian movie crew took a well-documented flight. And a Japanese tycoon and his personal assistant made it into space.
Houston-based commercial aerospace company Axiom Space is project manager for the mission. CEO Michael Suffredin says the crew will conduct 25 scientific and tech tests and experiments. And the crew has been well trained and confident in their abilities.
“The Ax-1 crew will participate in educational outreach and conduct innovative research experiments while in the orbiting laboratory,” SpaceX added.
