The next candidate for a space tourism flight to the International Space Station has been approved. The US firm Space Adventures said on Monday that 34-year-old, Daisuke “Dice-K” Enomoto, the Japanese entrepreneur has been approved as the next space tourist.



Enomoto made his fortune in information technology and he would become the fourth ultra-wealthy tourist to pay for a ride to the International Space Station (ISS) and the first from Japan. Enomoto will be judged medically fit and will sign a final contract. And then, he will undergo cosmonaut training with the Russian Federal Space Agency, the company said in a statement.
