US citizen, millionaire scientist Gregory Olsen arrived at the International Space Station (ISS) at 9:32 AM EDT, yesterday aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. Olsen, who is due to return to Earth next week, is the third private citizen to venture onto the ISS, following California businessman Dennis Tito and South African Mark Shuttleworth. It is believed that Olsen paid $20 million (USD) to the Russian space agency to take the flight.
