Wait! They're launching a tourist?

First female space tourist ready for launch :
Now at 40, after an improbable journey that has included learning a new language, earning an engineering degree and starting a telecommunications company that made her rich, this Dallas businesswoman will become the first female space tourist on a Soyuz spacecraft lifting off Monday.
Oh. Well. A tourist from Dallas. That's probably OK then.

Anyway they're not actually launching the tourist, they're launching a rocket with a tourist in it. Which may seem like a pretty picky point unless you're the tourist involved. One imagines.
