Monetising Space Travel for Tourists

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Tourism in space is the next frontier of air travel, as NASA announces the space station is open for holidaymakers -if you have $60million. And giant toilet rolls and tiny fridges - retailers get wise to the single life, as we hear from experts who are now seeing malls sell smaller portions as demand increases. Plus, are the gains for US citizens from the 2017 tax cuts now being wiped out by the tariffs imposed on goods from China and elsewhere? We discuss all this with guests Jose Martin, radical organizer and a militant researcher of social unrest, who is in Washington, and Sharon Brettkelly of Radio New Zealand in Wellington.
