US citizen Dennis Tito is sure to fly to the International Space Station, journalists learned from Yuri Koptev, head of Rosaviakosmos. The American businessman's idea to fly to the International Space Station as a tourist met with certain opposition on the part of Russia's foreign partners of the International Space Station. The contract signed with Tito earlier presupposed that if the businessman did not get the chance to go to the Mir which has by now been de-commissioned, an excursion to the International Space Station would be organised for him. The space trip will cost the American about 20 million dollars.
