Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The Soyuz capsule ferrying Charles Simonyi, Michael Lopez-Alegria and Mikhail Tyurin back from the International Space Station landed safely in the steppes Kazakhstan at the weekend.
"It is good to be back, good to be back on Earth" said Simonyi shortly after being helped from the capsule at the end of his "fantastic trip."
The return flight was delayed one day because of weather conditions at the intended landing site.
Simonyi is the world's fifth 'space tourist,' and his trip reportedly cost $US25 million. Space Adventures, the company that arranges for private individuals to join Russian space missions, says it has already signed its next client.
Lopez-Alegria set multiple US records during his time aboard the ISS. He now holds the records for the most spacewalks (10), longest cumulative spacewalk time (57 hours, 40 minutes) and longest single spaceflight (215 days). That last record is likely to be beaten by Sunita Williams, who is expected to remain on the ISS until June. She already holds the women's spacewalk records (four spacewalks, 29 hours and 17 minutes).
