Creating a popular software application can sent you into space? Well, at that's what happened to Simonyin the creator of Microsoft Word. He shelled out 25 million dollar to become the fifth person in space who isn't a trained astronaut. Simonyin blasted off two days ago on April 7th, and will be spending 13 days in space.
Today, he is supposed to be docking at the International Space Station. Since he is supposed to be periodically blogging about his experiences, we may see a new blog post from him today on his site, Charles In Space.
His site, Charles In Space includes videos, blogs and tons of other information about the trip. it's actually quite cool. There is even a kids section on the site which states that Simonyin is planning on bringing 2 books with him into space to start a library in space. Pretty cool, huh? I want to go to space!
