With the arrival of the @MBRSpaceCentre Astronauts @astro_hazzaa and @Astro_Alneyadi at @NASA_Johnson this week, can we assume they are the two Emirati crew members who will make the 6 mth stay on the #ISS in Oct 2022? pic.twitter.com/b2Sdr06hUc— Space Shuttle Almanac (@ShuttleAlmanac) September 21, 2020
Cruise and Liman’s name appears under the October 2021 part of the chart which reads “SpaceX Crew Dragon,” with the image of a small space vehicle beside it. Below the illustration are a list of three names: SpaceX Pilot Lopez Alegria, Tourist 1 Tom Cruise and Tourist 2 Doug Liman. Fans might get a little excited as the tourist flight also shows a vacant spot for a third visitor. Is it up for regular Tom Cruise fans to book the spot?
According to an earlier report by Deadline, Cruise is teaming up with the Elon Musk company SpaceX for NASA’s first narrative film. Universal Studios will back the $200 million space film. However, it is not clear if the October 2021 space tour is a part of that project.
Cruise and Liman have earlier worked together in two movies, American Made (2017), and Edge of Tomorrow (2014).
