A billionaire space tourist has blasted off on the trip of a lifetime.

US software mogul Charles Simonyi - a former high-ranking Microsoft developer - paid more than £12m for the 12-day trip.

The 58-year-old will spend time on the International Space Station.

He took off on the Russian Soyuz TMA-10 spaceship with cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Oleg Kotov soon.

He is carrying a special dinner packed in an aluminium container which he will share with ISS colleagues on April 12, which is Cosmonauts Day in Russia.

It features quail roasted in wine, duck breast with capers and rice pudding


I think I'll keep my feet firmly on the ground, thanks.

Although I'll admit that it would possibly be a pretty awsome experience, personally I couldn't think of anything worse! The prospects of simply having to fly in a plane make me feel sick, never mind actually leaving the Earth's atmosphere.
