I know there are many people in this world who want to travel to space, but it is not yet possible. In future it might be possible as many companies have already started working on this idea. However, it is now not possible for ordinary people to be in space, but the people who are astronauts by profession can travel in space.   

As usual, they also celebrated Christmas this year at the Space Station like others on the Earth. This year new Christmas tree and gifts were sent from earth for them. They also exchanged gifts and had delicious meals like others.

"We have packages and gifts from our families and friends, and packages on board the ISS labeled to open on Dec. 25 for U.S. crewmembers and Dec. 31 for us from Russia," Russian cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov told reporters Dec. 16, one day before he launched to the ISS with Tingle and Japanese astronaut Norishige Kanai. (Russia celebrates Eastern Orthodox Christmas on Jan. 7, but Russians traditionally open gifts on New Year's Eve.)
