A Far-Out Vacation
Last Thursday, South African millionaire Mark Shuttleworth became the second tourist to travel to the International Space Station. Shuttleworth, 28, paid the Russian space program about $20 million for his 10-day mission. Shuttleworth trained for eight months, including a week at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
