***********************************************
Anousheh Ansari, soon to be the first female space tourist, has a blog...indeed, it will be the first SPACE BLOG :)
She is interviewed here, and here.
That private citizens have the opportunity to go on these trips is intensely heartening to me.
The future is on it's way.
The fact that she is an Iranian Muslim woman, (who's family has done an incredible job of moving Human spaceflight forward) inspires hope in all sorts of other matters too. The past, however tenacious it may be, is ultimately on it's way out.
