Russian Space Program and a controversial issue of “space tourism” introduced by Glavkosmos in May 2001 with the first commercial space flight “booked” by Dennis Tito, an American millionaire. Pro and contra, budget gaps versus human “ballast” in space, scientific experiments versus dangers of orbital riding for non-professionals - all these aspects are thoroughly considered in the work. The book provides complete historical review of the space exploration since the 1950s and gives rich statistical information describing manned space flights in Russia and abroad. Some interesting issues connected with joint use of Alfa space station are discovered.
