Titanic Director Considering Flight To Mir

James Cameron, director of the Academy Award-winning movie 'Titanic,' may be planning a space journey up to the Russian space station Mir. Cameron has recently undergone a medical examination at the Russian Institute for Medical and Biological Problems, and has been cleared by the doctors to undertake a space mission. It is believed that Cameron is planning a long mission on Mir, but he has not yet signed a contract with MirCorp. Cameron reportedly has discussed flying on a Russian Soyuz to the International Space Station should Mir be deorbited before his mission could be launched.
