A 60- year old American man is living proof-- if you've got enough money and desire, you can fly into space. Dennis Tito blasted off this morning aboard a Russian spacecraft. As Dave Browde reports-- the flight, though, has not been without conflict.

(( With their passenger, the first ever cash customer in space paying the highest price ever for any seat on any flight, the Russians apparently were NOT allowing any air traffic delays. But though the Soyuz spacecraft blasted off this morning, it may be headed for something unprecedented in space but common on Earth: A gate delay.
SUPER: Bill Gerstenmaier/ISS Deputy Program Manager
SOT: "Does it put undue pressure on us? The answer is 'no.' We're going
to evaluate it, we've got the degree of freedom from the people we need to go do what is mandatory and what has to be done."
TRACK: NASA says its concern is safety, not disdain for space tourist Dennis Tito.
SUPER: Video From: NASA TV TRACK: The space agency says computer problems are the only problem in the way of Tito's visit to the International Space Station. But the Russians point out the station is designed for TWO spacecraft to dock at the same time and only now is NASA saying the docking ports are too close for comfort.
SUPER: Dennis Tito/Space Tourist
SOT: "I think the politics is over and I think now that the flight is
ahead of us and the excitement that that will generate will overshadow any politics."
SUPER: Friday TRACK: The American financier clearly isn't buying the NASA line that technical concerns were all that was standing in the way of his space station visit. But if politics are involved, the space station crew says, it ends at the docking station door.
SUPER: Susan Helms/Space Station Astronaut:
SOT: "When we open the hatch, whoever's on the other side of the
Soyuz hatch will be welcome inside the space station."
TRACK: NASA's midlevel managers who appear at the briefings insist on a technical level everything's fine between the Russian and American teams working on the space station. But they don't deny there's friction at the upper levels.
SUPER: Dave Browde, CBS NEWS ON-CAMERA: One sign: Spokesmen say when the Russians finally dock with the American space tourist aboard, there will be no special television coverage provided by the space station crew. Dave Browde, CBS News, New York.

The international space station's new robot arm has successfully handed its three thousand pound packing crate to the shuttle Endeavor's robot arm. It's the most complicated robotic feat ever attempted in space. All ten of the astronauts and cosmonauts on the docked spacecraft were needed for the tricky operation. NASA says Endeavor can depart tomorrow. That, of course, clears the way for the Russian space craft and Dennis Tito.
