She recently announced that she will be heading to Moscow to train as backup astronaut for Charles Simonyi, who plans to fly aboard Soyuz TMA-14 next year. http://www.personalspaceflight.info/2008/10/07/esther-dyson-to-be-simonyis-backup/ The US$3million price tag won't her first cash contribution towards personal space flight. She's already an investor in Space Adventures, the company that arranges the space tourist flights on Soyuz."
