Former NASA astronaut plans private trip back to space: 'It's a little bit like an addiction'
CNN
Axiom, a Houston-based company that focuses on arranging commercial flights to space, announced that Whitson will pilot a mission dubbed AX-2, which could be among the first privately funded civilian missions to space to launch from US soil.
"It's a little bit of an addiction," Whitson told CNN Business' Rachel Crane about her desire to return to orbit. Even with 665 total days in space already -- almost two years -- under her belt, Whitson, who first flew into space in 2002, says she hopes this mission won't be her last. She says she wants "many more — more and more and more and more; as many as I can get."
