Texas Company Axiom Plans First Private Space Station Flight
HARRIS COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) — A Houston company with deep NASA experience announced plans Thursday to launch a company-trained commander and three private citizens to the International Space Station as soon as the second half of next year.

In a statement, former NASA space station program manager and current Axiom Space CEO Mike Suffredini said, "This history-making flight will represent a watershed moment in the march toward universal and routine access to space."
