Somewhere out there...

Here's an interesting blog I found. It's about Dr. Charles Simonyi, who has donated millions of dollars in exchange for the trip of a lifetime. Well, actually it's only about ten days long.

He will be reaching the International Space Station and will return on April 20.

Simonyi was one of the founders for Microsoft applications like Word. He is a billionaire (no surprise) and the fifth individual to travel in space.

He has been documenting his travels through his blog entitled, Charles in Space.

Simonyi answers questions about space travel and the six month program where he prepared for the trip. There are also videos and updates about his voyage.

It's definitely something exciting to check it since Thursday was the anniversary of the first astronaut in space in 1961.
