John Batchelor and I welcomed back Marcia Smith of SpacePolicyOnline to discuss the upcoming Russian ISS tourist flights plus two upcoming Crew Dragon flights, one to the ISS and one which will be a private flight to orbit Earth for three days. You can read the article Marcia posted about these flights at https://spacepolicyonline.com/news/space-tourism-hitting-its-stride/. Our guest went over the four flights per her article in detail. Also discussed was SpaceX pricing per seat but our guest did not know the pricing for the Russian seats. We talked about the Axiom AX-1 Crew Dragon flight and the St. Jude lottery flight plus the cancer survivor who was treated at St. Jude being one of the crew members. This was a one segment 10 minute Hotel Mars program.
