	SPACE.com -- Charles Simonyi: Next Space Tourist Has Spacesuit, Will Travel
		Simonyi is returning to Star City after a successful round of winter survival training, in which he and other cosmonauts tested their wits and learned the Russian equivalent of “Mayday, Mayday” (Terpim bedstvye, or “We are suffering a disaster,” he writes).
		Simonyi also spent two hours tied fast to the customized seat liner while clad in his spacesuit, and is gearing up to test the spacesuit in a vacuum chamber to measure its integrity.
		Simonyi is also looking ahead to after his coming spaceflight, when he hopes to continue to share his experiences -- not to mention his Sokol spacesuit -- to help bolster interest and support in private human spaceflight.

	Unplugged: Charles Simonyi creates software intentionally - TechUpdate - ZDNet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Simonyi's notion of pushing programming upstream is a PowerPoint-like design tool that allows stakeholders to describe an application in their own terms and then hand it off to the programmers to write a "generator" to produce the machine-readable code.
		Simonyi: I make a semi-joke that programmers are steganographers; they take the wonderful statements of subject matter experts and then they create thousand of lines of code that effectively contain the information, just like a picture of a flower might contain a secret message of one sentence.
		Simonyi: I think the requirement is that the CAD-type editor must maintain the structure, or "intention," of the input, and then it must present it to the generator through a consistent API.

		Charles: Imagine a description of all the different types of prescriptions that can be produced in a large HMO together with all their interactions in the pharmacology sense, but also with insurance policies, with inventory procedures, with privacy policies, with legal requirements, with access controls, etc., all continually changing and expanding.
		Charles: I think working with code generation is a great way to get a taste of the benefits if one can ignore the current costs and inconveniences that it entails.

		Simonyi's skill at computers and his work in helping to develop the world's most commonly used word processing and spreadsheet programs earned him enough money to spare more than $20 million to become the world's fifth "space tourist," set to blast off early next month.
		Simonyi, 58, will travel to the international space station aboard a Soyuz TMA-10 capsule together with Russian cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Oleg Kotov and return to Earth 11 days later with its current crew -- Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin and Spanish-born U.S. astronaut Miguel Lopez-Alegria.
		Since beginning training at Star City in October, Simonyi, like the other "space tourists" before him, has had to learn to walk and breathe in a cumbersome space suit, use special gas masks, practice helicopter rescues in case of a water landing and other tasks.
