“Google co-founder Sergey Brin, considering going into space on a private flight, made a surprise visit to Russia’s Baikonur cosmodrome on Saturday to wish good luck to a fellow space tourist.
“Richard Garriott, a U.S. computer game developer and Brin’s friend, is due to blast off into orbit aboard Russia’s Soyuz spaceship on Sunday at 1:03 p.m. (0503 GMT) alongside U.S. astronaut Michael Fincke and Russian cosmonaut Yury Lonchakov.
“Brin, a native of Moscow, arrived at the sprawling Soviet-era complex along with Garriott’s friends and family members to cheer for the success of his journey to the International Space Station.”
