    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  ........

    Correct me if I'm wrong,  but didn't a Saudi Prince go on a Space Shuttle 
    flight in the early 1980's  (before STS-51L)?  I think he went up even before 
    Senator Jake  Garn.
