Mmm. So that’s what the stylish astronaut is wearing these days. Wait, am I supposed to be scared?

By the way, have you seen the USSR Lunar Lander?

That’s what someone who has the major bucks required to pay for a ride from the Russian Space Agency. Ms Ansari is an Iranian-American engineer who made big bucks during the telco deregulation.

Yeah, I saw that. The Soviets went overboard on some of their earlier stuff and had elaborate interiors before it became less about propaganda and more about science.

I have to admit it, this rocket does look suspiciously like a minaret.

So does the Washington Monument, and the Capitol looks a lot like a mosque. 😉

Oops!! She forgot to stick out her index finger when she pointed the *gun* at the camera to terrify the paranoid bed-wetters (like duffy!) 😈

LMAO

On a saner note… She looks like the cat that got the cream and the canary! 😆 It’s nice to see someone happy for a change! (I’m sure that’s a major crime for the Islamophobe morons!) 😉 😛

She was the back-up passenger for the trip, and the primary had a problem a month before take-off. If that hadn’t happened she would have had to go back on the list for the next flight after having spent months in training. She was definitely a happy camper.

I expect a deal with the squirrels will be discovered at any time, Ellroon. The hamsters are probably functioning as intermediaries. You did know that hamsters are from Islamic countries in Central Asia?
