According to Engadget a Russian cosmonaut aboard the International Space Station claims that Microsoft founder Bill Gates is planning on spending a few million to be the next Billionaire to take a trip up into Space.
If Bill does splash out the £25m for the trip he will be joining fellow Microsoft Billionaire Charles Simonyi, 58, who led development of Microsoft’s Word, lifted off from the Baikonur space station earlier this month.
I would love to be able to travel into space. When I was younger I was deadly serious about becoming an Astronaut. I had even found a good relevant university course. Although I managed to get into my first choice University, Cambridge, to read Maths (I switched to Economics in the first term) my insurance offer was Physics with Space Science at University College London!
Maybe in 20 years time I’ll be able to sell Connected Internet for a tidy sum which will finance my trip into space.
