At MSNBC Alan Boyle article reports of 4 possible vacationers headed for ISS.

Two Americans have signed contracts to become the next paying passengers in space, and two more spots for a Russian rocket trip to the international space station are now on the market, the head of the company that brokered the deal said Tuesday.

"One of them found us, and the other one we recruited — we brought concepts to them," Eric Anderson, president and chief executive officer of Virginia-based Space Adventures, told MSNBC.com. "Ultimately, it's always their decision. You can't 'sell' someone a spaceflight. They have to want to do it."

With Soyuz the only launcher sending crews to ISS at this time I don't understand Anderson's justification of saying; "They've got to use those seats," Anderson said of the Russians. "They need the money."
I guess that's just salemanship.

All for citizens in space,
