One of the potential space tourists doubted the reliability of Elon Musk's ship and preferred to fly into space on the Russian Soyuz . This is reported by RIA Novosti.

"We talked to him just last week. Yes, he respects everything that Elon Musk does, but he believes that his safe flight statistics are not yet large enough, " said Sergey Kostenko, who heads the Russian representative office of the space tourism operator Space Adventures.

According to Kostenko, despite the competition with SpaceX, the number of people wishing to fly on the Soyuz spacecraft has not decreased. The next flight, in which two space tourists will take part, is scheduled for December.

"Musk operates in the same price ranges, so everything costs about the same for both Musk and us," Kostenko was quoted as saying by TASS . We are talking about about $ 50 million (3.6 billion rubles) for the flight, the agency "Prime" clarifies . The exact amount depends on what service the tourist will receive.

Space Adventures has organized eight tourist flights to the Russian segment of the International Space Station. Her last client, Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Laliberte, visited the orbit in 2009.
