U.S. mogul's wife calls time on $60 million space hobby

STAR CITY, Russia (Reuters) - U.S. software mogul Charles Simonyi plans to make history this month by becoming the first tourist to travel to space twice, but after watching him spend $60 million his new wife has decided to clip his wings.

Simonyi, 60, a billionaire who made much of his fortune at U.S. computer software maker Microsoft, is training in Moscow ahead of a March 26 blast-off.

But his 28-year-old Swedish wife, who he married in November, has told him the $35 million space flight would be his last to the International Space Station (ISS).

"I decided to fly before I got engaged and my wife agreed that I would be able to fly just once more, so I cannot fly a third time," Simonyi told journalists on Thursday at the Star City cosmonaut training camp outside Moscow.

women are like tornados. In the beginning there's a lot of sucking and blowing. In the end, the car's gone, the house is gone..

"You're right, I did spend sixty million dollars last year.  I expect to spend sixty million dollars
this year.  I expect to spend sixty million dollars next year. You know, Mr. Thatcher,
at the rate of sixty million dollars a year, I'll have to close my bank account in... 16 years."

And that's assuming that he's earning absolutely no interest.

The good thing about getting old, is that you can hit the ball out of sight.
