Google founder Brin flew to space in 2011

Google co-founder Sergey Brin will probably fly to the International Space Station aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft in 2011. The flight will be organized by Space Adventures, a Virginia-based company that specializes in space travels for billionaires. Among the two candidates, Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, will probably take up one seat. Currently, Brin has already invested 5 million US dollars in Space Adventures as the earnest money for his future space trip.
