On April 9, 2022, four civilians made history as the first all-private "astronaut" team to reach the International Space Station (ISS). Former NASA astronaut Michael López-Alegría and three first-time fliers, Mark Pathy, Larry Connor, and Eytan Stibbe — who each paid $55 million for the trip — will spend eight days on the orbiting science laboratory. They are scheduled to return to Earth aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule on April 19, 2022.

    the (iss) is 254 miles and it is a space ship so it would take 12 days and a 1/2 to get there and back. they get to stay up there for 8 days so there away from there kids for 20 days and a 1/2. i will not do that unless my mom and dad are with me.

    I wish I could live in space! There are many downsides to it, though, like your heart shrinks and your muscles do too. One good/cool upside to it is that you become taller.
