Couple days ago somebody spread a rumor that Bill Gates is preparing for a space trip.
Wired has blogged about this, saying that Russian Cosmonaut Fyodor Yurchikhi says that his fellow passenger on the current voyage to the International Space Station. Microsoft billionaire Charles Simonyi, claims that Bill is interested in hitching a ride on a spaceship.

In mean time Microsoft is not making any declining comment.
One thing's for sure: If Bill wants to head for the stars, he can afford the ticket price. We all know that a ticket for this trip is $25 million, so he can take all his family.
Well, I guess finally Bill will get closer to the star.

To remind that the fifth space tourist Charles Simonyi paid  $25 million for the 13-day trip aboard the ISS. He will return back to Earth with Michael Lopez-Alegria and Mikhail Tyurkin, two astronauts who have been stationed at the ISS for six months.  They should return on April 20.
