Anousheh Ansari is onboard ISS!

History was made today as Anousheh Ansari, a key supporter for the X
PRIZE, floated though the airlock onboard the ISS. Her presence there
marks a giant leap for the space tourism industry. Private space
travel is an international endeavor. As more space infrastructure is
developed, the more people will journey to orbit and beyond.

Our goal at STS is to inspire people to develop that infrastructure.
Your designs, your ideas lead the way.

Keep up to date with the adventures of the first female spaceflight
participant on the X PRIZE blog: http://spaceblog.xprize.org/
