Garriott will spend ten days at the International Space Station following the trip aboard a Soyuz TMA-13, which lifted off at 3:01 am EDT from the Baikonur Cosmodrome [http://www.russianspaceweb.com/baikonur.html] in Kazakhstan. The famed designer coughed up roughly $30 million for the opportunity to go into space, becoming the sixth "space tourist" to hitch a ride on a Russian spacecraft since Dennis Tito made the first such voyage in 2001.
He isn't planning on being entirely idle during his orbital vacation, however. According to the Skylab [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7664963.stm] in 1973.
Garriott took some ribbing for another experiment he announced this summer, Operation Immortality [https://www.operationimmortality.com/], in which he planned to collect the DNA of luminaries from across a wide range of human endeavor, ranging from Stephen Hawking to Stephen Colbert, and take it into space as "humanity's saved game," to serve as a failsafe against a planet-wide cataclysm. Garriott's time onboard the ISS is scheduled to end on October 23.
