NASA Opens International Space Station to Private Visitors, With a Hefty Price Tag

Private space travel will begin as early as 2020, but for a hefty price. NASA announced Friday that it would open the International Space Station to private individuals and more commercial business at roughly $35,000 per night per astronaut.

NASA hopes to develop a new space economy in low orbit by opening up to the private sector. It's also an effort to enable the agency to complete missions to Mars, and put a man and the first woman on the moon by 2024.
