Space Adventures, orbital space flight has organized for "space tourists" since 2001, is only strong so far that brokers space travel to amateur, astronauts including Charles Simonyi and four other people that have signed up for spacewalks. As stated in a previous article, Simonyi paid $ 25 million dollars for a 13-day trip to the international space station with Space Adventures and Russia - 20 million federal agency space team until travel is possible.
Russian news agency Interfax reports that Fyodor Yurchikhin, Commander of the expedition and Charles Simonyi discussed the possibility billionaire Bill Gates is considering the possibility of taking your own trip espacio.Stacy Tearne, Space Adventures spokesman, said that gates had not even contact the company on the possibility of an orbital space flight, but the company already has the following space adventured in mind, and an announcement on the next customer might soon.
Internationally renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, known for his innovative theories about the origin of the universe and black holes, has also set a goal of taking a trip rocket at the edge of outer space, possibly in a ship are being developed by Virgin Galactic, due to be in service for about 2009. A flight in April 2007, zero gravity conducted by Zero Gravity, during which the sensation of weightlessness experienced Hawking felt by orbit astronauts was a performance test for a possible later to space flight.Voyage of the Hawking zero gravity was slightly modified to allow his fragile health status, with more short periods of weightlessness and a little easier withdrawal from the decline in medical aviones.Cuatro and two nurses monitor vital signs throughout the flight, and rescue teams was on board. Zero gravity flight was a success, with Hawking negotiating to take eight laps rather than the scheduled six and perform gymnastics laps in the air.
Hawking, expressed the hope that their spaceflight would promote commercial space travel, which he believes is a necessary step in the future of the humanidad.A often has expressed the opinion that "life on Earth is increasingly greater risk of being wiped out by a disaster such as sudden global warming, nuclear war, a virus genetically or another danger".Only with the involvement of private companies that make possible commercial space travel can be a portion of the human race permanently departed the planet to ensure the survival of the human species in the case of a global space tierra.Turistas disaster as Charles Simonyi, Stephen Hawking and, possibly, Bill Gates, are helping to make this dream a reality.
