New Space Tourist Loves Hostile Environments
Where: Russian Federation
Some tourists get all the luck. He just got home from the North Pole on a territory-claiming scientific mission. Now elected representative and grocery store tycoon Vladimir Gruzdev will be Russia's first space tourist.
If the rumors are true, Gruzdev will be the sixth civilian in space next September. Of course, he doesn't have to go far from home, since the Russian space agency is the only one in the world taking space tourists right now. Eat your heart out, Richard Branson.
