NASA's first paying astronauts to visit the International Space Station have been answering questions about their mission so far.
NASA’s first paying astronauts to visit the International Space Station have said they would love to visit the moon next.
Asked if they were up for a much more challenging lunar mission, American entrepreneur Larry Connor was quick to respond. Of course, the chances of a paying astronaut heading to the moon are currently highly remote, and goodness knows what the bill would be for such a trip considering the Ax-1 crew has each had to fork out an eye-watering $55 million for the relatively short stay aboard the space station.
Organized by Texas-based Axiom Space and using SpaceX hardware, the mission marks the first time that NASA has sent paying astronauts to the ISS. Other paying astronauts have visited the station over the years, but those missions were organized by Roscosmos, NASA’s Russian counterpart.
