Dennis Tito, space tourist, paid $20 million for an eight-day trip to the International Space Station aboard the Russian Soyuz-U booster. Tito, a financial adviser and former NASA engineer, lifted off in April from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and returned to Earth in a space capsule, unharmed and buoyant.
