Space tourism is a thing that can be done, but only if you’re moderately rich, in excellent health, and willing to undergo training and testing to qualify for it. If you only check the first of these boxes, the closest thing to living on the International Space Station is a glass house in Malibu, California.

They say living in a glass house, both literal and metaphorical, is cool only at first, before it becomes a nightmare. For those who choose to make their own mind about stuff like that, one of Niles’ most iconic mansions has been listed for sale this month. It’s the Malibu glass house that hangs at 16 feet (4.8 meters) in the air, and that is often compared to the Earth version of the International Space Station. Sure enough, there’s no comparing quarters in space to anything on our planet, but at least you’ll be getting the impression you’re living among trees.
