Brightman, a famed soprano (女高音) who starred in Andrew Lloyd Webbers “Phantom of the Opera” will pay about $ 52 million for a 10-day stay aboard the orbital outpost, Tom Shelley, president of privately owned Space Adventures, said. Brightman, who would become the eighth privately funded space tourist, is scheduled to fly in September 2015.Her training to fly on a Russian Soyuz capsule is to begin this fall. Brightman planned to be the first professional musician to sing from space.But she faces competition from Lady Gaga, who according to media reports late last year intends to be the first when she performs one song in space in early 2015 on a Virgin Galactic flight.Virgin Galactic, part of Richard Bransons Virgin Group, plans to offer suborbital(亚轨道的) space flights. Brightman said in 2012 that she would travel to the space station, but her plans were not confirmed until now.So far, Space Adventures has arranged for nine private missions to the space station, a $ 100 billion research laboratory that flies about 260 miles above Earth.Microsoft co-founder Charles Simonyi made two trips. Brightman will be the first private citizen to visit the station since Cirque du Soleil founder Guy Lalibarte paid about $ 35 million for an 11-day stay in September 2009. Google co-founder Sergey Brin has an option to fly on the next available Soyuz seat after Brightman, which most likely will be in 2017，Shelley told Reuters. “He paid us a deposit and whenever we have a seat available, he has the right of first refusal，” Shelley said. 文章大意：英国歌手莎拉布莱曼要去太空高歌。 21．What
