Anousheh Ansari lifts off with the Soyuz TMA-9 Expedition 14 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome tomorrow, Kazakhstan time, which means a bit more than fourteen hours from now. The crew members she’s flying with are NASA astronaut Michael Lopez-Alegria and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin.
Anousheh Ansari, an Iranian-born American multi-millionaire, is flying up to the International Space station with both the Iranian and the USAn flags sewn on her suit.
She has an interesting story and a blog, of course. She won’t be blogging from space, but you can read her befores and her afters. Her husband will be blogging in her stead while she’s away.
