Next space tourist seeks understanding in stars
As launch nears, Dallas exec wishes for peace between United States and
her native Iran
By IRENE KLOTZ
Reuters News Service
The spacesuit Anousheh Ansari will wear when she blasts off for a 10-day
orbital vacation to the international space station has been stripped of
the flag of Iran, her native country.
At the insistence of the Russian and U.S. governments, she has also
promised there will be no political messages during her trip, although
Ansari is painfully aware of the deep divide between the governments of
her adopted U.S. home and the land she left at age 16.
