This will seriously trigger flat earthers and moon landing conspiracy theorists:

The International Space Station is open for business. NASA announced on 7 June that it is expanding the use of the orbital laboratory to include astronauts from private companies and activities beyond just research and development.

This means that private companies will be able to manufacture products and even do marketing on the ISS.

NASA will also allow a private module to be added to the station, creating a “commercial destination” in anticipation of independent commercial space stations.

Private astronauts will also be allowed to visit the station for missions lasting up to 30 days, with trips up to twice a year starting in 2020, Gatens said.

A visit to the ISS will cost an average of $35,000 per night.

:eek:
