New space tourists?

[pmdpmd]

Have you seen the "news" about the 6th and 7th space tourists. It seems to be quite widespread, but call me an old cynic - there is nothing about it on the Space Adventures site, and it seems these two ladies have a very poorly populated social networking site which would benefit from some free publicity.<br /><br />They reckon their venture capital funders are stumping up for the flights... Hmm...<br /><br />Perhaps it was an April fool, but if it was, promoting their site was a very nice side effect!<br /><br />"Internet entrepreneurs Jennifer Bellofatto, 33, and Cherry Mendoza, 32, plan on becoming the sixth and seventh space tourists ever. Following in the footsteps of five private cosmonauts, these two full-time mothers will begin training in the fall of 2007."<br /><br />http://www.space-travel.com/reports/HerOrbitcom_Cofounders_Are_Headed_to_Space_999.html <br /><br />www.spacetoday.net/getarticle.php3?id=98141<br />

not bad looking, they might find ways to pay for their trip if they fly together and were willing to leave their bashfulness on the ground <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>
