Japanese Man Fails Space Test
Combined Reports

A Japanese businessman seeking to become the world's fourth space tourist
has failed a medical test and cannot fly to the international space
station next month, a space official said Monday.

Daisuke "Dice-K" Enomoto, 34, was to be launched in a Soyuz vehicle from
the Baikonur Cosmodrome with the next space station crew on Sept. 14.

"I cannot give you the precise details of the medical checks, but it
looks like Iranian-born U.S. businesswoman Anousheh Ansari will fly
instead of him," Federal Space Agency spokesman Igor Panarin said.

"I believe the state commission will approve Ansari's flight by the end
of this week," Panarin said.

Ansari would be the world's fourth space tourist and would fly with U.S.
commander Miguel Lopez-Alegria and Russian flight engineer Mikhail
Tyurin.
