Capsule return delayed
A billionaire American space tourist in the middle of his second stay aboard the international space station will return to Earth a day later than originally planned, Russian space officials said on Friday.
The Federal Space Agency said a Soyuz capsule carrying former Microsoft executive Charles Simonyi and two other space station crew members is now set to land in Kazakhstan next Wednesday, instead of Tuesday, because the originally designated site near the city of Arkalyk is affected by spring flooding.
