The first woman space tourist is Iranian born and wearing both Iran and US flags on her uniform. She's only 35 and is paying $20m for the flight !

The article also says she is contributing to the space port in the UAE.

Cosmic!

Yeah I dont know how to react on this one...

I want to be pissed off with her as it seems to me she is being an ingrata to her roots. But then again, maybe she doesnt really see herself as an Iranian but a US citizen already. And thus having that dream and the capacity to fly thru NASA, she did it.

But did you hear the news that she is now mentally disabled all bec of the flight? Havent verified this but Im hoping to know really what happened to her.
