NASA opens International Space Station to visitors

You’ve heard about the International Space Station for years. Want to visit?
NASA announced that the orbiting outpost is now open for business to private citizens, with the first visit expected to be as early as next year.

Key points:

Accommodations will run for about $US35,000 per night for trips of up to 30 days long
Travellers don’t need to be a US citizen, people from other countries are be eligible as long as they fly on a US-operated rocket
Depending on the market, the agency will allow up to two visitors per year, for now

What a wonderful idea.

Who would be first in line? Arab princes? Reporters? Scientists?
