Earlier we had reported that Richard Garriott, a successful American computer game designer is about to fulfill his childhood dream to travel into the orbit. Now it won’t be wrong to say that he has fulfilled his dream, since on Sunday he reached the space along with his two crewmates, American astronaut Mike Fincke and Russian Yuri Lonchakov, after they blasted into the sky inside a Soyuz TMA-13 spacecraft from the Baikonur facility in Kazakhstan.  

The digitized DNA sequences of some of the world's most famous minds such as famous physicist Stephen Hawking, comedian Stephen Colbert and Matt Morgan, are also being carried by the three men abroad the Soyuz, which will be stored at the ISS. Garriott, 47, is the son of Owen Garriott, who is a former astronaut who made it into space in 1973. Richard Garriott is the sixth space traveler, who has paid for the trip a whopping $30 million. 

The Soyuz TMA-13 will dock on Tuesday with the international space station (ISS), if all goes as planned. In order to conduct a series of experiments, Garriott will stay in the ISS for 10 days. 

After the launch, the Soyuz made it into the orbit in about 10 minutes. For flying into the orbit, Garriott had to undergo various physical tests. 

Earlier Garriott had reported, “What I am trying to do is demonstrate that you can mount a very successful campaign to go into space and beyond because it's good business.”
