Tito's replacement

In April 2002, the second space tourist, 27-year-old South African millionaire Mark Shuttleworth, will go to the International Space Station. He will stay there for 10 days.
“The contract has already been signed,” the press service of Rosaviakosmos told Interlocutor. — It is known that Mr. Shuttleworth will pay for his flight, like Dennis Tito, at least $20 million.
Mark Shuttleworth trades in information security technology. Recently, the American company Verisign bought his company for $500 million.
“Mr. Shuttleworth dreamed of flying into space since childhood,” his PR agent Geffen told us. “And his parents are very proud that he will be able to make his dreams come true.” Of course, he is a little scared, but Mark loves risks and is ready for challenges.
