Space tourism: In 2021 Bosheizen went to space aboard NS-18 along with William Shatner, Audrey Powers, and Glen
de Vries. Boshuizen is the third person of Australian descent in space, preceded by Paul Scully-Power and Andy Thomas; however,
by a technicality of Australian law at the time, specifically section 17 of the Citizenship Act 1948 at the time of both
Scully-Power and Andy Thomas's flights, their status as American citizens invalided their existing Australian citizenship.
In 2002 section 17 of the 1948 Citizenship Act was applied granting Scully-Power and Thomas dual citizenship.
