And a female one at that. Instapundit tells me that the fascists may not approve of Anousheh Ansari. She is set to become the first female Muslim in space, first Iranian-born person in space, and the first female space tourist on September 18, 2006.
On Monday, Sept. 18, Mrs. Ansari and two professional astronauts are scheduled to blast off in a Russian Soyuz spacecraft from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, part of a crew-exchange flight to the International Space Station.
Good luck & God speed.
