American millionaire Dennis Tito who made a flight into the Universe aboard a Russian spacecraft, described his stay at the International Space Station as "fantastic". He said that now he can say that he had lived two lives -- sixty years on earth and 8 days in space. These lives strikingly differ, and I cannot say where I experienced more happiness, said the first space tourist at a press-conference in Stellar City near Moscow. Tito said that he does not consider himself to be a celebrity, he just wanted to realize an old dream he was hatching out for the past forty years. I would like to advise those who will follow in my footsteps not to think about their life in terms of a month or a year. People must have a long-term goal, said the world's first amateur cosmonaut. Dennis Tito also stressed that such a flight calls for a concentration of all physical and intellectual strength, and advised those who want to fly into space to take care of their health, do physical exercises, go in for sports and keep on diet.
