NASA plans to stop direct support for the international space station in 2025, and the station will gradually become commercial. Last year, NASA announced the price of private space tourism,Round trip fare is about $58 million。Last week, NASA announced axiom space, a private space companyWill buildA livable commercial module connecting the ISS.

Axiom plans to build its own space station, but relying on the existing international space station is much easier than building it entirely on its own. Similar to the international space station, axiom will gradually expand the module with its anchor point. When the service life of the International Space Station expires, axiom's module cabin will be separated from the international space station to form an independent operating space station.
