The first person to see the cosmos through the eyes of a tourist was in 2001 an American of Italian origin, Dennis Tito. He was followed in 2002 by a businessman from South Africa, Michael Shuttleworth, the third was an American multi-millionaire Gregory Olsen.
Anusha Ansari, a businesswoman from the USA, became the first woman - a space tourist, her flight took place last year. After it, the head of Microsoft, Charles Simony, arrived in orbit.
In the spring of this year, the prospective tourist should receive the opinion of the main medical commission, and if it is positive, he will be able to start classes at the Cosmonaut Training Center. The flight aboard the Soyuz is scheduled for autumn 2008.
Also previously reported that the sixth space tourist may be able to go into outer space. This will be a separate service, and the price of a flight into space with access to airless space will increase. However, if this tourist really becomes the richest person on the planet, it is unlikely the increase will seem to him significant.
