Technology heavyweights are fast queuing up for an opportunity to blast off into space. Following in the steps of former Microsoft executive Charles Simonyi and video games developer Richard Garriott, Silicon Valley luminary Esther Dyson is the latest to start training for a space flight. Dyson who is an investor in Space Adventures, a company that aims to open space flight for private citizens, will not be flying anytime soon but will be training as a backup for Simonyi who will be heading on his second space trip next year.
