A television contest to go to space and, perhaps, achieve interplanetary fame.

This is the premise of

Space Hero

, an

American

reality show

in which

24 contestants

compete for a seat on a spaceship bound for the International Space Station (ISS).

Only one lucky person will be able to live this adventure valued at 45 million euros. The mission, organized by Axiom Space, is scheduled for 2023 and will last ten days.

"Space hero tries to open space to everyone,

not just astronauts and billionaires,

" explained Martin Pompadur, president of the project.

At the moment, NASA has shown interest since it has signed

a cooperation

and information exchange agreement with the producers who will begin to choose the candidates in the coming months.

A worldwide casting

The 24 contestants will live in a

"space village"

during the show and undergo extensive training testing their physical and mental strength.

All viewers can follow live.

To participate in the casting, the only requirement is to speak English fluently and be over 18 years old.

The selection process will open in the coming months.

Those interested can visit the web.

Space Hero is planning 15 seasons over the next 30 years and taking the winners to destinations like

Mars and the Moon

.

The chances, remote as they may be, of ordinary mortals putting themselves in the shoes of an astronaut were unthinkable until very recently, but several initiatives have emerged in recent months.

One of them is scheduled for this fall, when billionaire Elon Musk's SpaceX company launches the first fully civilian space mission, a milestone in private space tourism.

On board the

Dragon

ship

, four crew members will travel around Earth on the mission that has been named

Inspiration4

.

The other is the adventure of the Japanese millionaire Yusaku Maezawa who is going to select eight space tourists to accompany him to the Moon for free.

This six-day trip also aboard a SpaceX spacecraft is scheduled for 2023, the same year as the

Space Hero

winner's award

.
