Space Adventures says Diasuke Enomoto, a 34-year-old Japanese entrepreneur, is scheduled for a space flight in October 2006. The Arlington-based company, which partners with the Russian space program to send private citizens into space, didn't say what Enomoto was paying for his adventure, although previous space tourists have paid $20 million for their trips. Enomoto would be the fourth private citizen Space Adventures has sent to the space station. Mark Shuttleworth and Dennis Tito made trips to the space station in 2001 and 2002. Gregory Olsen was sent to the space station last month.
