Space tourist still hoping to make flight
Would-be space traveller Gregory Olsen remains optimistic that his flight to the International Space Station on a Russian rocket will go ahead even though it is temporarily on hold due to an undisclosed medical issue.
The 59-year-old New Jersey physicist plans to do experiments on his trip and is hoping Russian officials will give him the go-ahead at the end of next week, said Robert Volmer, spokesman for Space Adventures, which brokered the trip.
