'Space tourist' back with a bump
U.S. millionaire scientist Gregory Olsen, 60, and a two-man, Russian-U.S. crew returned from the International Space Station to Earth on Oct. 11. The Russian Soyuz space capsule touched down on the steppes, where Russia's manned-space facilities are based.
A Russian Space Agency official said that Japanese businessman Daisuke Enomoto was in line to be the world's fourth space tourist, following Olsen, fellow American Dennis Tito and South African Mark Shuttleworth.
