The Eric Andre Show (2012)

Episode Overview

Most space exploration has taken place in Low Earth Orbit, roughly 120 miles above the Earth's surface. For a hefty price of $20 million, anyone can experience a trip to the International Space Station, located in the 1,100-mile range around the planet. The commercial opportunities in LEO are vast, but there are significant risks for those eager to embark on this journey, including radiation, cosmic rays, and the thousands of pieces of space debris that pose a threat to any spacecraft in orbit. This emerging frontier holds limitless potential for those daring enough to venture into the realm of space exploration.
