Japanese businessman Daisuke ' Dice-K ' Enomoto failed to pass a health test for a flight into space, Russian space agency spokesman Igor Panarin said.
Thus, ' Dice-K ' is forced to abandon the dream of becoming the 4th space tourist to fly with the 14th crew on the Soyuz (Russia) in September.
Previous space travelers were Dennis Tito, Greg Olsen (American) and Mark Shuttleworth (South African).
Igor Panarin said, ' Enomoto has not met the health conditions for the flight into space. 'Dice-K' replacement will soon be decided '.
The expected replacement for the Japanese businessman will be Iranian-American astronaut Anousheh Ansari.
The 3rd seat of the crew flying to space this time will fly with American commander Miguel Lopez-Alegria, Russian space engineer Mikhail Tyurin and stay at the International Space Station for 10 days. Later, the tourist will return to Earth with two astronauts currently on ISS, Russian commander Pavel Vinogradov, American space engineer Jeff Williams.
The 10-day trip to ISS for tourists costs $ 20 million.
