    Am I glad that my US tax dollars have paid for the Russian space agency to privatize space tourism to the ISS. I can't wait to spend even more money on Russian space tours for myself, knowing that we've all pitched in so the richest people on Earth can finally literally look down on "all the little people" who made this possible.
