Ia, e foliga mai e tatau ona faatali Charles Simonyi mo se malaga lona tolu, aua o le a malolo turisi avanoa. Faatasi ai ma le faalēaogāina o le felauaiga ua tuua ai Rusia e na o le pau lea o le atunuu e mafai ona tautuaina le International Space Station (ISS), ua faasilasila mai e le malo o Rusia o le a le toe faatagaina tagata lautele e tietie i vaalele a Soyuz.
Ona o le le toe aoga ma le tipiina o le paketi, o le NASA's Space Shuttle o le a taofia le lele i le faaiuga o le tausaga.
