Default "Another space tourist to fly to ISS" -- on OCTOBER (!!) Soyuz

All Russian accounts describe the Soyuz launch as "October". NASA
documents still list it as "September 27". WHEN will a launch date be
picked,
and what are the current alternative dates under consideration?

Inquiring minds -- and potential Baykonur tourists -- want to KNOW!!

Another space tourist to fly to ISS
MOSCOW, July 6 15:29 (RIA Novosti) - American space tourist Gregory
Olsen will fly to the International Space Station (ISS) on a Russian
Soyuz-TMA spacecraft with the ninth ISS crew in October, the Russian Federal
Space Agency said Wednesday.

Agency head Anatoly Perminov met with Gregory Olsen, who has a chance
to become only the third space tourist.

The first, American Dennis Tito visited the ISS in 2001, while the
second, South African Mark Shuttleworth flew to the ISS in 2002. Both paid
$20 million for the privilege.
