A reality TV show, named Space Hero wants to offer a trip to the ISS is currently in development. The shows intend to depict a global search to find a group of people able to go through a series of tough challenges. These will, it’s thought, culminating in a global live broadcast in which people from different parts of the world can vote on who they want to fly to space.
Space Hero is a London based production company co-founded by Thomas Reemer and Deborah Sass. The company is lead by Martin Marty Pompadour, who previously held leadership positions at ABC and News Corporation. And the attached reality show will be produced by Ben Silverman, the former co-chairman of NBC Entertainment.
According to Deadline, Space Hero is working with Axiom Space, a company working to build its own commercial space station in the future. It has obtained a trip to the ISS at some point in 2021, riding a SpaceX Crew Dragon to the space station, and carrying three space tourists.
The price of getting a single individual into space is likely to hit somewhere between $50 million to $60 million range. Even a glossy show like Survivor cost just $2 million an episode, while an episode of Modern Family cost ABC $3.5 million per 25 minutes in its seventh season.
We’ve been here before, of course, with Mars One unsuccessfully looking to fund its own ambitious trip to Mars with reality TV money.
