As Charles Simonyi prepares for his launch to the ISS early next month, SPACE.com reports that he will get a bit of a bonus: He will spend 13 days in space instead of the previously-planned 11, in order to ensure that the the landing of the Soyuz flight at the end of the taxi mission takes place in daylight in Kazakhstan. In case you were wondering, no, Simonyi won’t be charged extra for spending two additional days at ISS, according to a Space Adventures spokesperson.
