Space tourist's message to kids
A self-made man who has fulfilled his dream of blasting off into space has sent a message to young people, saying: "If I can do it, so can you!"
US businessman Greg Olsen reportedly paid £11m for his 10-day trip to the International Space Station.
"Hard work and determination has led me to where I am today and I encourage today's youth to dream big," he said.
While in space, Greg will share his experiences with 30 US high school students using a radio signal.
He completed 900 hours of training before lifting off in a Russian rocket from Kazakhstan on Saturday.
He becomes the third person to pay for a trip into space.
"Nowadays, everybody can fly every week. The same will be true with spaceflight - there will be more tourists after me," said Greg.
