MOSCOW, May 14 – RIA Novosti. Disclaimer Sarah Brightman from the flight to the ISS, “for family reasons” is more like a planned PR-campaign, and in September the international crew of the flight is canceled because it will not be . Options for replacing the British singer in a chair “Union” can be varied, according to experts interviewed by RIA Novosti.
Promise – not to marry
case of cancellation of a flight, shortly before the start were: enough remember the 22-year-old at the time of the American singer of pop group N’Syns Lance Bass. He said in 2002 that would fly, successfully passed a medical examination in Russia began to prepare, and then declined. So he drew the attention of the media actively, both to the person and to the creation of the musical group, sharply increasing its popularity.
The owner of a large construction company Sergei Polonsky in 2003 would become the first space tourist from Russia but it did not grow together. Now Polonsky accused of stealing money from shareholders, the international wanted list and living in Cambodia on the island. It’s okay because of their failure has occurred: instead of them on the ISS went the other.
PR cosmic
According to the academician of the Russian Academy of Cosmonautics. Tsiolkovsky, the chief editor of “Space News” Igor Marinin, the whole story of the flight and the denial of Sarah Brightman from him – a PR-action.
“I personally do not know it, but when Sarah Brightman was assigned to the crew I looked for her publication. I have the impression that it is quite an emotional woman who wanted to make money and good PR does not regret the money, but with the full security – did not want to risk any of hair “- said the RIA Marinin News.
He said that the Russian rocket “Soyuz” and the manned transportation spacecraft – the most reliable in the world, which is, of course, informed the singer. But what happened on April 28 an emergency situation with the separation of the third stage of the carrier rocket “Soyuz-2.1a” space truck “Progress-M27M” brought the singer “panic”, and she decided not to spend more money and get out of the program, the expert believes.
According to him, “family circumstances” – is just a cover, because the West is not accepted to ask a person about personal problems and thus Brightman protect themselves from further clarification.
The opinion of professionals
Record for the total duration of the work on the ISS, deputy director TsNIIMASH Sergei Krikalev, prior to 2014 headed the Cosmonaut Training Center Gagarin, said the cause of failure of the flight Brightman “incomprehensible”.
In an interview with RIA Novosti, he said that “temporarily” abandon and then change your mind impossible. This is no problem in this, in his opinion, no.
“Unfortunately, we have intermittent problems with tourists there. It seems to be related with the scheme, how they negotiate the Federal Space Agency and Space Adventures (space tourism operator). The question is why, when agreed, says one thing and another comes. It comes from the professional space plane “- said Krikalev.
He also noted that the recent failures go not only from tourists (which may be associated with the business), but “unfortunately, from professional astronauts”.
Brightman replace the goods or astronaut
The planned September 1 start due to the failure Brightman will not be canceled. Can fly her understudy, a big fan of space Satoshi Takamatsu, which continues training in Russia.
On the other hand, said Igor Marinin, the Japanese may have financial problems: “When (understudy) rely only on training He and his finances rely only on training. All of a sudden urgent need to find an additional flight, assume 30-40 million (dollars), paid for 20 million for training. He can not find “.
It is also possible the flight of professional Russian cosmonaut or astronaut foreign – negotiations on this subject go. It is also possible that the third place in the “Union” could just be busy payload.
