Here is another interesting auction item. First it was a plane then a town. Now here is a space ship. On Saturday in Paris a Soviet capsule covered with scorch marks from it's return to earth will be auctioned.
At 2.7 metres (8.75 feet) long and 1.6 metres (5.2 feet) wide, the 2.4-tonne capsule is one of a batch of seven launched by Soyuz rocket between 1985 and 1991. This one spent two-weeks touring the cosmos.
The price is expected to be between 30,000 and 35,000 euros (39,000 and 45,500 dollars).
This is not the first of the capsules to be auctioned. One already in Paris and the other in the United States. This sale coincides with this years Paris Air Show. ( the largest in the world)
Wouldn't it be cool to own a space ship?

Charles... as of 8 am on Monday, the 18th, Jack will be off work until the Monday AFTER the 4th... so I'm sure my boys will LOVE to see your plane. Me too!
I am looking forward to being able to spend some time with the two of them on the boat, around town and just having fun.
We are off to camp tonight, so I don't know if N and I will make it to even the 6 pm service on Sunday.
I'll e-mail you our phone numbers so you can call us when you have time for plane time.
