Space Tourist Simonyi's Stash of Space Station Souvenirs

Charles Simonyi will be the fifth tourist in Space. He has decided that he is going to take his passport, among other things, to space with him. "Just to get it stamped, not that I think you should have to have a passport to go to space," Simonyi, a former Microsoft software developer. Simonyi will spend his time conducting experiments for international space agencies including the European Space Agency, the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency and the Hungarian Space Office. In his free time, the American billionaire plans to blog about his experience on his website, communicate with students on the ground and take many photographs
