"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!! Jim O 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. |
