coondoggie writes "Google largely conquered the Earth now it is taking aim at space. At least co-founder Sergei Brin will. Brin today said he put down $5 million toward a flight to the international space station in 2011.
Brin's space travel will be brokered by Space Adventures, the space outfit that sent billionaire software developer Charles Simonyi to the station I 2007. Computer game developer and son of former NASA astronaut, Richard Garriott, is currently planning a mission to the International Space Station (ISS) in October 2008. Garriott is paying at least $30 million to launch toward the space station aboard a Russian Soyuz spaceship according to Space Adventures.
