The crew members for the first-ever privately-funded space mission have been announced. The Houston-based private company Axiom Space on Tuesday revealed its first clients to be sent to the International Space Station. The crew will include a former astronaut, a former Israeli fighter pilot, a Canadian philanthropist and the second oldest person to ever fly into space. The four men will fly to the ISS next year on a SpaceX Crew Dragon under a commercial agreement with NASA. It’ll cost them 55-million-dollars each.
