[i]Eleven years after tragic loss of Colonel Ilan Ramon in Columbia shuttle disaster, the Israel Space Agency is in contact with the US, European, Russian and Chinese space agencies about the possibility of their dispatching an Israeli astronaut for a few weeks' stay on the International Space Station. If accepted, however, it would not happen for another four years or so. [Prof. Yitzhak Ben-Yisrael, ISA chairman] said there are talks with other space agencies, but nothing has been agreed. "All the flights to the space station are fully booked for at least two years," he said. "But if we want a second Israeli astronaut, we have to start talking now."[/i]
