A trip to space for private travel may soon be a reality.
Axiom Space announced on Tuesday that it will be launching private citizens into space next year for spaceflight.
Commanding the first flight will be decorated former NASA astronaut, Michael Lopez-Alegria, who holds two NASA records for spacewalks.
“You’ve got to start somewhere,” Alegria told “Good Morning America.” “Just like commercial aviation back in the 1920s and ‘30s, only very rich people could fly. Now people get on an airplane to go to birthday parties, So that’s going to happen in commercial human spaceflight.”
