World's first space tourist 10 years on: Dennis Tito


Ten years ago, US multi-millionaire Dennis Tito became the world's first-ever space tourist.
He is said to have paid $20m for his eight days in space.
Mr Tito blasted off on 28 April 2001, but only after a struggle to get anyone to take him - the US space agency Nasa refused on the grounds that he was not a trained astronaut, so it was the Russians who facilitated the trip.

What a waste of 20 Million........ wait 40 years or so and you get to leave the earth for free.
