South African businessman Mark Shuttleworth rode a Russian Soyuz spacecraft to and from the International Space Station during a 10-day mission that ended May 5, 2002. He paid a reported $20 million and in the process became the world's second fare paying space tourist. Just like Dennis Tito, the first space tourist, before him, Shuttleworth's flight sparked an interest in spaceflight among new audiences around the world.

Here is the archive of SPACE.com's stories covering this milestone in space exploration. The stories are presented in chronological order by section.
