"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

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.
OMG OMG OMG!!!! The islamofascists are taking over SPACE!!!! Is there no end to their nefarious perfidy??QqQ!!1
Or is it perfidious nefariousness?
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?
