Yes, but I think from the records, that would be unlikely to happen. Its a
shame as she has been looking forward to it for some time now, and has done
a lot of work learning stuff.
I'd imagine she will go for it sooner or later.
She is an Ex of Andrew Loyd Webber of course.

I see that they have effectively declared it a loss and in the news group
it
seems that the launches are being rescheduled to allow the time to sort
out
what happened.
Unfortunately it does not take much to create such a situation and as
nobody can go and look at it, its got to be done using existing data. I
bete
its something really simple and stupid, these things usually are at the
end
of the day. However if it is diagnosed as a problem that could affect
manned launches, then things get a lot more problematic.

It's a loss because the Progress reentered, uncontrolled, days ago over
the Pacific Ocean if memory serves.

The problem could be with the Soyuz launch vehicle, putting the next
Soyuz manned mission at risk. It has since been postponed and the
passenger, a singer from the UK, has said she is postponing her flight
for personal/family reasons (my guess is that her family does not want
her to die).
