Londoner will be next space tourist
12 April 2012
A millionaire living in London will be the world's second space tourist.
South African Mark Shuttleworth, 27, who sold his web security company for £400million, has signed a deal with Russia to go into space next year.
The Soyuz rocket flight to the International Space Station will see him follow American Dennis Tito, 60, who blasted off for a week in April. Mr Tito spent £14 million, but the sum Mr Shuttleworth has agreed to pay has not been announced.
