Notable Women In The Physical Sciences
Who says money can't buy... anything? Yes, even a trip into space. Ansari left a turbulent Iran as a teenager and came to the United States and made a name and a fortune for herself. She took that fortune and went to Russia where she participated in Space Adventures and went into space. The press branded her a "space tourist" and the people of Iran have criticized her for having spent 20 million dollars on her dream. It wasn't just her 20 million dollars that got her into space tho, but also her determination. Ansari spent six months undergoing medical test after medical test and undertaking one training procedure after another and showed she had a bit more grit than a camera toting tourist.
This is her story. I liked it and I learned a lot of things I didn't know before picking this up. I didn't know anything about special seat molds, underwater tests, or what 8 Gs of force feels like. Now I do. However, part two really bored me as it was about her business making and being a CEO. I'm not a business minded person and I just wanted to get to the space stuff. That came in the last half. Thus, four stars.
