Would you fancy a holiday on the space station?
For the very first time, tourists will be able to stay on the International Space Station. But it will cost you £27,000 a night. From as soon as next year two people can fly to the space station every year and stay for up to 30 days. The responsibility to make sure tourists meet training and medical requirements for spaceflight will lay with travel firms.
Jeff De Wit from Nasa said with return flights the trip would cost you about £39million each. Nasa is looking at ways of raising money because it wants to be able to return astronauts to the moon by 2024. The trip is 239,000 miles each way.
