The International Space Station is open for business! Recently
announced by NASA, starting in 2020 commercial businesses will be
able to develop and market products on the space station, if they
fall in line with NASA's mission parameters. Also, twice a year
private space agencies can send civilians up to the ISS for up to
30 days. Staying on the space station will cost 35,000 a night, and
that doesn't include paying for training, rocket fuel, and
more.
Bonus story this week is about a new species of dinosaurs found in
Australia in an opal mine. The bones have been turned into the
precious stone and yield some exciting and one-of-a-kind finds in
archeology.
