Two American space tourists are being trained in Russia for express lane rides up to the International Space Station. A space tourism company has sold seats in Soyuz spacecraft slated to fly in 2004 and 2005, and has also acquired from Russian space officials two more slots for future paying passengers.

"We have contracted for two more seats with the Russian Space Agency, beyond the two that we have been selling," Eric Anderson, president and CEO of Space Adventures told Space.com.
