Proposed Space Tourist for ISS Crew Transfer Flight 10S
Gregory Olsen had planned to fly aboard Soyuz TMA-6 as the third space tourist, although it was possible that he could have flown aboard Soyuz TMA-5 instead. However, he was grounded from June 2004 until May 2005 due to medical concerns with handling the g-forces of launch. His training resumed after the medical concerns were resolved, and he was assigned to the Soyuz TMA-7 crew in July 2005.
