Meet Anousheh Ansari, the first Muslim woman to go into space and also the first female space tourist. Not only that, but she is also a graduate of George Mason University! I am surprised I haven't seen more publicity about her current space flight here on campus.She blasted into space on Monday and is now docked at the International Space Station.
Watch her rocket blast off. Also,watch a video of her prepare for her lifelong dream to fly into space.
Anousheh was also one of the sponsors for the X-Prize to encourage private development of spaceflight. Read more about this impressive lady here.
