Is that a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s Charles Simonyi(a software billionaire), trying to practice some superman like moves during his space training. He is a space tourist. Like him, there are many others who are trying to book their space tours as well. It seems like the space tourism tickets have skyrocketed and people are trying hard to get their space in the space shuttle.
Today, the cost of flying to an International Space Station is between $30-$40 million. That is an increase from $20-25million.
