BEIJING, Oct. 21 (Xinhuanet) -- Richard Garriott, the world's latest space tourist, said on Monday from orbit that he's gotten his money's worth.
Garriott, an astronaut's son and computer game wizard, paid 30 million U.S. dollars to fly to the international space station on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft on Oct. 12.

Reports from this rich guy's fantasy trip. Can't say I blame him for wanting to make the trip, and if $30 million is nothing to you, why not?

"It's been great icing on the cake to actually take the rocket ride, which was very exciting, and, of course, the view from up here is spectacular," he told reporters in a news conference.

I wonder if the astronauts on board are sick of him yet? "Excuse me, Dick, you just sat on the instrumentation panel again."

Nonsense, he can talk about anything he sees. What exactly are you suggesting he would see that he would not be allowed to talk about? You can see the details of his trip here:
