Yesterday, Space Adventures, the world's first and only company catering to space tourism, blasted off yet another earthling, for a ten-day jaunt to the International Space Station. Richard Garriott, famous for developing the Ultima video games series, is the sixth passenger to be flown by the company, but the first ever offspring of a NASA Astronaut.
