Online fashion tycoon Yusaku Maezawa and his assistant Yozo Hirano parachuted onto Kazakhstan’s steppe at around the expected landing time of 0313 GMT Monday, along with Russian cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin.
Their journey marked Russia’s return to space tourism after a decade-long pause that saw competition emerge from the United States. Maezawa plans to take eight people with him on a 2023 mission around the moon, operated by Elon Musk’s SpaceX. The last was Canada’s Cirque du Soleil co-founder Guy Laliberte in 2009, who was dubbed the first clown in space.
NASA bought up all Soyuz launch seats for a reported $90 million per spot — effectively ending tourist flights.
