     The concept of space travel is no longer a pipe dream and it won't just be the realm of the wealthy in the near future, either.   Guided by the mantra that one's leisure time is your only non-renewable asset, Roman, who previously worked with hospitality firms and the very wealthy for more than two decades, and his staff is successful in meeting their respected clientele's travel and lifestyle needs in a smooth manner.   In 2018, he has been actively participating in private astronaut activities and because of this, he was able to sell 3 private astronaut tickets for Axiom's Space's 10-day mission to the International Space Station and make the Ax1 mission possible. Roman's desire to integrate space exploration into people's daily lives was sparked by this involvement.   Roman Chiporukha joins Alex in today's episode to share how he got to where he is now, how he got involved in space initiatives, what drives him to think that there's a business in space, what's happening in space tourism, and what is universal space literacy.   Find out more about Roman Chiporukha via LinkedIn & Website.

Hear how the press leaked the story of his sniper kills in Afghanistan and had to live for three years in a safe house with his wife.
