Frank Bunger, chief executive of Orion Span, told Space News that there's a huge demand for space tourism:
"We reckon with 18,000 NASA astronaut applicants per year, there is a market for people who want to feel what it’s like to be an astronaut. We’re selling an authentic astronaut experience."
He also revealed that the all-inclusive price €7 millio covers three months of pre-flight training, some of which would be done online, as well as transportation to and from the station.
Would you like to holiday amongst the stars?!
