MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russia will not drop plans of sending tourists into the space as part of a crew but not until 2018, the head of the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center said.
”We have all the crews staffed until 2018, training has started. So there is no need to send tourists into space,” Yuri Lonchakov told journalists.
He also noted that there were no Russians among the candidates for tourist flights to the International Space Station (ISS).
