    There was spaceflight, space tourism and space station activity before ISS!
    :-)
    
    Surely the first space tourist was Toyohiro Akiyama who was launched on
    Soyuz-TM 11 to the Mir orbital complex on December 2, 1990.   That makes the
    first space tourist flight more than 20 years ago ........
