The Russian-built Soyuz capsule bound for the international space station is being prepared at Baikonur in Kazakhstan. US businessman and space tourist Charles Simonyi will blast off with the rest of the crew on Thursday for a 13 day trip into space. There are rumors it may be the last private traveler allowed by the Russians to travel to the space station.-

Lol, they only shove astronaut's in an underground cavern filled with water to simulate weightless space, then pay them with fame for keeping their gob's shut and make up shite to get more Partiotism out of the Public's bank ballence!. They're suit's are still made out of Keblar, which will only stop a Colt 45 at 30 paces, not billion's of radioactive solar particle's travelling at thousand's of mile's a second, and no lead in any NASA vehical's or rocket's, or satalite's, etc;!.
