Crew emerge after Soyuz MS-20 lands in Kazakhstan

A Japanese billionaire, his producer and a Russian cosmonaut landed back on Earth on Monday after wrapping up the first visit by self-paying space tourists to the International Space Station in more than a decade.

Fashion tycoon Yusaku Maezawa, his producer Yozo Hirano and Russian cosmonaut Alexander Misurkin emerged from their Russian Soyuz spacecraft after landing in the steppes of Kazakhstan about 150 kilometers southeast of the city of Zhezkazgan. Maezawa, 46, reportedly paid over 80 million USD for him and his 36-year-old producer to join the 12-day mission.
