The International Space Station is turning into a tourist hotel.

The cosmic home is over 20 years old. During this time, NASA spent $ 90 billion on him. Each year of her orbit stay costs US taxpayers now 3-4 billion dollars.
They are not small money, so it is not surprising that Donald Trump, who is a seasoned businessman, announced several years ago that he is considering the economic sense of its existence and transforming it into a cosmic hotel. Now these plans finally have a chance to be realized, because NASA is looking for extra money to return to the Moon.

There is information that the US president intends to de-radio the Station by 2025 or hand it over to private companies that will turn it into a real research center or simply an exclusive hotel. Either way, the US is to make money on it or no longer make any interest in it.

NASA has just stated that it is open to tourists. Soon all those who have a free 40 million dollars per flight, plus hundreds of thousands for the stay themselves, will be able to fly to the space house and stay in it for a week or two. There will be breathtaking views of our planet waiting for them, the opportunity to spend time with an international group of astronauts and perform various tasks and experiments with them.

Recall that some time ago, the Russians published their plans for ISS. The RKK Energia Corporation, ie the main contractor for contracts concerning the service of the International Space Station (ISS), wants to build an additional, extremely luxurious manned module by 2021 and connect it to the Station. In it, space tourists will be able to stay as long as they want.
