I just hope that the theocrats in Iran can't keep the story out. Let young Iranian women see what one of their own can do in a free society. Let them watch the light in the sky and find the courage to tell the mad mullahs where they can shove the chador.
The Persian culture has been hijacked for the last 28 years by the Ayatollahs. I hope Ms. Ansari can offer a sliver of light through the curtain so Iranians can see what they could do if they were free. And that they then will demand it.
Godspeed, Anousheh Ansari. And when you get back, call me (not to be crass about it, but she's a pretty serious babe).
Yes, a pretty serious babe.....
Who is pretty seriously MARRIED.
Sorry to bust your bubble there. But i do agree...she's a good lookin' woman.
Iranian space tourist or terrorist?
It's dificult to know if the headline is a typo or not.
There's currently 12 people orbiting the Earth at 17,500 mph in 3 different vehicles. Godspeed to them all.
However, if I were an American taxpayer, I'd be more than a little displeased at having my tax dollars being used to fund a tourist attraction with the fees going to Russia.
You have to admit, for a communist nation, Russia sure adopts capitalism pretty well when it enables them to profit off of the investments of others. And the American government is being provokingly silent about this obvious abuse of their facilities.
I read in another article that she was told to remove an Iranian flag from her uniform, and she was told not to make any political statements by the Russian and American governments. I have no doubt, though, that she would be highly critical of the current Iranian regime.
