Metro is 'first newspaper in space'

The Metro is claiming to be the first newspaper in space because a special edition of the paper is being carried by Richard Garriott on his journey in a Soyuz spacecraft to the international space station. The British-born "space tourist" reportedly paid £20m to join the 18-strong crew. He will be carrying out a series of experiments thought up by British schoolchildren as part of a Metro competition.
