KAZAKHSTAN-RUSSIA-US-SPACE-SIMONYI
U.S. billionaire space tourist Charles Simonyi wearing Kazakh national costumes, is seen at a news conference at Karaganda airport before departure to Moscow on April 8, 2009. The capsule carrying a Russian-US crew, safely returned to Earth on Wednesday along with a U.S. billionaire whose the second paid voyage to the international space station ended with a landing on the Kazakh steppe. Russia's space tourism partnership with US company Space Adventures, which also organised Simonyi's debut trio in April 2007, has provided a welcome boost to funding for its space programme since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
