Russia will fly two space tourists to the ISS in late 2021

Russia has flown just seven tourists to space since 2001, but it’s about to expand that number in the near future.

The country’s space agency, Roscosmos,

has signed a deal with Space Adventures to carry two “spaceflight participants” (read: tourists) to the International Space Station in late 2021.

They’ll fly aboard a familiar Soyuz spacecraft for a “short duration” trip.

The guests haven’t been named, although it’s safe to presume they’ll have large bank accounts.
