Awesome! The first female space tourist was in space!
Everyone is strangely silent about it. I hadn't heard anything about her until just a few moments ago. She's already back down.
Anousheh Ansari is one of the people behind the Ansari X Prize which was in the news not-so-long ago when SpaceShipOne won 8) The prize was meant to spur on space tourism, so it's appropriate that she's getting her shot at it.
I envy having the funds and time necessary for such a venture and the wherewithall to do it.

did you hear that virgin galactic contacted the virgin atlantic passanger with the most air miles and is giving them one of the first rides on the space flight ?
I beleive they are slated to be flying in 2007.
I would love my astronaut wings ..
I hadn't, but I'll believe it when I see it.
So far, I haven't heard anything from Virgin Galactic that hasn't been extremely superficial. |
