Billionaire Charles Simonyi (left), 58, who is scheduled to be the next space tourist, walks with his future crew members, Russian cosmonauts, Oleg Kotov and Fyodor Yurchikhin, while taking part in preflight tests in Star City outside Moscow, Tuesday, March 20. Simonyi left Hungary at 17, roughly a decade after the Soviet Union launched the Space Age by sending Sputnik, the first man-made satellite, into orbit. He went to the United States to study engineering and computer science, and went on to help develop two of the world's most popular software applications, Microsoft Corp.'s Word and Excel. This spring Simonyi is to be taken to the ISS aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft. (AP Photo/Sergey Ponomarev) Sergey Ponomarev
