Google founder follows Shuttleworth
Virginia-based Space Adventures, which arranges space flights for ultrawealthy clients, plans to buy a private Soyuz flight in 2011, and Brin is a new investor in the company, the report said.
Brin, Google’s technology president, made a $5m investment that "will serve as a deposit on a future flight," the report said.
"I am a big believer in the exploration and commercial development of the space frontier, and am looking forward to the possibility of going into space," he said.
Space Adventures, which has sent five tourists into space, was expected to announce the news on Wednesday.
