So, just like Contact (the movie), where Hadden lives his last days in space to slow down his cancer.

  Exactly my thought, one of my favorite movies combining my love for spirituality, wonder, science and technology. R: Comrade Arroway... ...we have been expecting your call. One moment, please. E: Mr. Hadden? S: Doctor! S: How kind of you to call. E: Mr. Hadden, where are you? S: The Russian government was kind enough to give me accommodations on Mir. E: You're living on a space station? S: It's quite simple, really. The low oxygen, zero gravity environment... ...is the only thing keeping the cancer from eating me alive. Actually, I quite like it up here. My little room has one hell of a view. I want to show you something.

    2 of my favorite lines: S: Wanna take a ride? and S: The first rule of government spending is build two at twice the price.

    If S.R. had not lived for years in an airplane up in the flight levels, he probably would not have got cancer in the first place. "He hardly ever lands for anyone."
