"Takeaway" messenger in a spaceship: the millionaire Simoni will pay 20 million dollars to bring a gourmet meal to the astronauts * Simoni, as we already reported this week, will be the fifth space tourist. He will take off from Kazakhstan on a Soyuz spacecraft on April 7
The millionaire Dr. Charles Simioni, the fifth space tourist in history, will take to the International Space Station a special gourmet meal for his fellow astronauts, from a menu chosen by Martha Stewart. And in Israel, an Israeli space tourism company intends to launch the first Israeli space tourist by the end of the decade.
The American company Space Adventures, the leading space tourism company in the world, which has sent 4 space tourists to visit the International Space Station, announced that the fifth space tourist, Dr. Charles Simeoni, will be launched on April 7 to the International Space Station, carrying a meal with him Gourmet to his fellow astronauts. Dr. Simioni, a former Microsoft executive, will take off to the International Space Station in the Russian Soyuz TMA spacecraft from the Baikonur launch site in Kazakhstan, after paying over 20 million dollars.
As a tribute to the astronauts and cosmonauts who have been on the International Space Station for many months, Dr. Simioni chose to take with him a special gourmet meal for all the crew members. The six-course meal, chosen by the "lifestyle priestess" Martha Stewart, a friend of Simioni's, will include roast beef in a wine marinade, goose breast with capers, parmentier-style chicken legs, sweet apple sauce, rice pudding with sweet fruits and semolina cake with dried peaches , and will be a refreshing change in the menu of the astronauts who stay in the space station for over six months and are fed "space food" in tubes.
"I'm looking forward to sharing this meal with my teammates on the space station," said Dr. Charles Simioni, "even though the food there is very good, it's pretty basic and after about two weeks everything tastes the same. I am sure that such a small change in the menu will be welcomed."
Dr. Simioni details more about the gourmet meal on his website www.charlesinspace.com In it he records his training for the flight.
Soon there will be an Israeli space tourist
"Soon we will also see an Israeli space tourist" says Aliron Yaron, CEO of the Israeli company space pioneers, the exclusive representative of space adventures in Israel, which offers Israelis a selection of tourist attractions in the field, starting with flying in MiG planes, astronaut training, flying in a plane that simulates zero gravity, And a sub-orbital space flight or a one-week flight to the International Space Station. "Currently there is no Israeli candidate for the flight to the International Space Station, which costs more than 20 million dollars, but at least one Israeli is already in the final stages of purchasing a ticket for a suborbital flight to space. The suborbital flights, planned to begin next year, will be launched for a short flight in space, during which the passengers will experience weightlessness and be able to see the Earth from above. A ticket for such a flight costs about 200 thousand dollars, and the interest in it, even in Israel, is quite high. There is no doubt that by the end of the decade there will be at least one Israeli who will fly into space privately."
