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.
