Yes, get ready to holiday in space as the successful installation of an international docking adapter on the International Space Station on Friday represents another step toward NASA shuttling its own astronauts to the ISS.Astronauts created a back door for the International Space Station (ISS) on Friday, which will someday enable commercial space shuttles to dock.During a spacewalk on Friday, NASA's Commander Jeff Williams and Flight Engineer Kate Rubins installed the first of two docking adapters, where crews riding with Boeing and SpaceX will soon disembark.The successful installation of the "international docking adapter" is another step forward in commercial space travel, where steadily advancing technology in the last two years has opened up real potential for life both here and in the skies.
