The head of the Russian Space agency Rosaviacosmos Yury Koptev did not approve the idea of US businessmen to turn the distraction of Mir space station into a show. It will be recalled that Bob Citron, the head of space tourism company Space Hab is planning to organise a charter fright to the area where the carcass of Mir station will fall. News agencies report that representatives of NACA with cameras and a few Russian former cosmonauts were invited as well. For ordinary passengers each ticket will cost $ 6,500. “Unfortunately, for the time being there aren’t any documents, forbidding such running about this complicated procedure”, said Koptev. “But I’d like to warn the future passengers of this flight: they will expose themselves to danger, because thousands of small fragments of the station will fall down.” Koptev would not recommend to the plane to show up in this area.
