[amsat-bb] Sarah Brightman to start space flight training in January

The UK's Sarah Brightman expects to start space flight training in January. She may fly to the ISS in September 2015.

Her mission highlights the rapid escalation of launch charges in recent years. In 2006 the Iranian-American engineer Anousheh Ansari paid $20 million for her mission to the ISS, Sarah will have to pay $52 million.
