And finally, British artist Sarah Brightman is hoping to become the first professional singer... to perform in in zero-gravity.<br />Speaking in London on Tuesday, the famed soprano said she expects to blast off into space in September via the Russian Soyuz rocket... for a 10-day stay aboard the International Space Station.<br /><br /><br />"I have mentioned that I would like to sing something from space. You know, an engineer, or somebody in sciences, or a biologist would go up and do what they can, their experiments. But with me, really, all I can do is do what I do and that's sing so we are trying to work this out at the moment. We are working on the music for it."<br /><br />If she does go through with the mission, the 54-year-old singer will become the 8th space tourist to visit the 100-billion dollar research station.<br />Brightman also said she was funding the space trip by herself, at an estimated cost of 35 million U.S. dollars. <br /><br />And that wraps up our look at international stories for now. I'll see you back here tomorrow night.
