NEW YORK - A US-based production company is pitching a reality TV show based on a worldwide hunt for a space-loving contestant who would win a ride to the International Space Station, as Nasa opens up space to entertainers and advertisers.
No television network or air date has been agreed so far for the show, tentatively titled"Space Hero." The unscripted casting show will follow the winning contestant through exhaustive astronaut training before embarking on a week-long stay aboard the space station, an orbiting laboratory travelling in low-Earth orbit at roughly 27,000kmh.
A Space Hero spokesman on Friday did not provide a budget for the show, but the company's co-founder Deborah Sass has described the winning prize as"a US$65 million ticket with a 10-day stay on the International Space Station."
