Ten Years Ago Dennis Tito Goes to Space

Miles O'Brien reports on the first space tourist flight of Dennis Tito. Tito, an Italian American engineer and multimillionaire, is widely known as the first space tourist to fund his own trip into space. In mid-2001, he spent nearly eight days in orbit as a crew member of ISS EP-1, a visiting mission to the International Space Station. This mission was launched by the spacecraft Soyuz TM-32, and was landed by Soyuz TM-31 on a deal brokered by Virginia-based Space Adventures.
