Richard Garriott, the latest of Space Adventures' private space travelers, is back on Earth after his Soyuz landed safely in Kazakhstan yesterday.
Garriott, the son of Skylab astronaut Owen Garriott, is the first second-generation American to fly in space. He came home with the first second-generation cosmonaut.
SA is building an excellent safety recond. All of their clients so far have come home safely. In the early years of the space tourism industry, all companies involved will likely need similarly spotless records. The prospect of a tragedy early on that could set back the industry for years is no doubt one brake on investors' interest.
