The first all-private mission to the International Space Station is slated to complete the final leg of its journey this weekend
The mission, called AX-1, was brokered by the Houston, Texas-based startup Axiom Space, which books rocket rides, provides all the necessary training, and coordinates flights to the ISS for anyone who can afford it.
Getting provisions to and from the space station for a commercial crew is another $88,000 to $164,000 per person, per day. But the extra days the AX-1 crew spent in space due to weather won't add to their own personal overall price tag, according to a statement from NASA.
