A Russian Soyuz capsule carrying US space tourist Charles Simonyi and two other crewmembers has landed in Kazakhstan, Russian officials say. The craft touched down at 1116 local time (0716 GMT) as planned, a few hours after undocking from the international space station (ISS). Mr Simonyi, a former Microsoft executive, is the world's first space tourist to visit the ISS twice. Also onboard were cosmonaut Yuri Lonchakov and astronaut Michael Fincke. (source: news.bbc.co.uk)
