Yup! One would have to be crazy to spend millions of dollars to go up in some rickey russian ship. I wish her luck but this is dangerous.

Actually the Russian Soyuz is statistically safer than the U.S. Space Shuttle by a wide margin. The Russians haven't lost any cosmonauts in spaceflight since the early 1970s. We on the other hand are down 14 astronauts in that same period.
And last I checked you have to be a corrupt Senator, Congressman, Saudi Prince or a not-so lucky teacher to get a ride on the shuttle.

I wish her luck but this is dangerous. I believe their record in the last 20 years is better than ours. Besides ... life is dangerous
