Where could $25 million go?

Apparently, one can have a personal 13-day trip to outer space. http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2007/04/21/space-simonyi.html

And of course we all know that $25 million for a 13-day trip to outer space is much more important than cancelling international debt, providing more and better aid to developing countries, and providing food, water, shelter and education to the billions all over the world who don't have it.

And to "add a cherry on top", a gourmet six-course meal was enjoyed by Simonyi and his crew, which included: quail roasted in Madrian wine, duck breast ‘confit’ with capers, shredded chicken parmentier, apple fondant pieces, rice pudding with candied fruit, and semolina cake with dried apricots.
