Avec le nouveau directeur de Roscosmos, il n'y aura plus de place soyouz de cosmonautes russes vendues à des touristes.

Bien que cela ne soit pas précisé, cela ne signifie pas qu'il n'y aura plus de touristes mais ceux-ci devront voler sur le soyouz construit en plus des 4 autres tous les 2 ou 3 ans.
Par ailleurs il souhaite favoriser le vol de femmes qui se sont raréfiés. Il n'y a plus en effet qu'une seule femme (Serova) dans le corps des cosmonautes russes.
