Email From Space!

by Peter @ 6:56 pm

Subject: Hello from Peter Diamandis, Welcome to Space!

Hi Anousheh-

Welcome to your ISS Home! Earth watched your beautiful launch on the Internet and TV. You looked great… all smiles the entire time!

Here’s my blog entry of your launch (how it looked from NASA TV).

Hugs,
Peter

My Dear Peter,

You were on my mind the entire time. I remembered our first meeting with you sitting across the table and passionately talking about goals of the X Prize foundation. I was enjoying watching you make a sales pitch with such a passion.

You had me sold from the first minute but your passion was contagious and I wanted you to finish telling your story. I arrived in the station a few hours ago and it feels like home. I have been making notes all along the launch and I will be posting a blog on the trip.

The launch was very smooth. The trip to the station felt long but it was worth it. I cannot keep my eyes off the windows. Earth is magnificent and peaceful from up here. You don’t see any of those awful things you hear on the news, from up here.

The Earth is so beautiful and if we could all see it this way I’m sure we would do everything in our power to preserve it. I truly hope that more and more people get to experience this trip first hand. But more than anyone else I hope that you will experience this trip soon, because I cannot think of a more deserving person….

with my best space wishes :)
Anousheh

  9. Anousheh,

    It was so interesting to watch the coverage of your preparation for launch…and the very permanent grin on your face! I am so happy for you.

    Tell us about the time before docking…is it as small in the capsule as it looks from the onboard camera? Can you stretch your legs at all?

    Tell us everything! I and the rest of your fellow XPF board members hope (and know) you will have a great time.

    Regards,
    Jack

    اين دومين كامنت من در اينجاست نمي دونم وقتي به زمين اومديد وقت مي كنيد كامنتاتونو بخونيد يا نه؟ مطمئنا اون بالا كاراي مهمتري هست كه بهش بپردازيد .! ورود موفقيت آميزتون رو به ايستگاه فضايي تبريك مي گم اميدوارم سفرتون سراسر موفقيت آميز باشه
    چه خوبه كه از اون بالا زمين آرام و صلح آميز به نظر مي رسه
    تلاش در راه صلح جهاني يكي از آرزوهاي منه.
    هميشه دوست داشتم قدمي در اين راه بردارم ولي اميدي به موفقيت نداشتم
    شما اين اميد رو در دل من زنده كرديد
    شاد باشيد

Words fail me to describe the temper, the strength, the imagination, the power, in one word the beauty that you simply radiates around. One can’t even be envious because knowing who You are You sure deserved every moment of the dream You’re living. You’re a hope and a relief to us all. Thanks again….

  15. Anousheh, congratulations! Your first words from space remind me of the words written by fellow space traveler and ASE member HRH Sultan bin Salman al-Saud:

    On the first day, we all pointed to our countries…
    On the third day, we all pointed to our continents….
    By the fifth day, we were aware of only one Earth…

    Safe Journey,

  20. it seems funny, but i see a day when i’m reading a book written by you. about your journey from beginning, from the day you dreamed of space to the day you reached the space. i like to know what it takes to go to space station. last year i didn’t even know anousheh ansari but now i can’t stop thinking about her. this is just a beginning

  21. This is Arash,a medical doctor from Iran.i wish you the best in the space.I hope after getting back from space you(as a representative of iranian people too) will dedicate the message of love and friendship of iranian people to the world despite the ideology of hatred which is being supported and expanded by some guys from inside iran.they are not the real represeantatives of iranian people in international scenes .you probably can realise who i do mean.

    Long live.

    Dear Anousheh - I must confess, I’m addicted..
    Congratulations and I’m sure, you will enjoy every minute up there..

    BTW: I like your personal mission patch very much and have it now in my office.. I like the message.. I also have a set of high quality photo prints from you on the wall too and whenever I’m asked, I tell how a dream can come true.
    If I can manage it, I will try to come to Santa Cruz and hope to have a chance to meet you. Indeed, hoping someone might be interested in AMSAT-DL’s dream for the first private satellite mission to Mars.

  40. Dear Anousheh:
    I just watched the news and heard that you had a safe journey and arrived in good shape at the ISS. I’m so happy for you. I too dream of going to space sometime. I have been following the news about you ever since I heard about the X-Prize.

    I am 17 years old, my mother is Iranian like you (my dad is Lebanese). I was born in Washington DC and now live in Belgium. I have been passionate about space forever, and participated in a NASA youth contest aimed at building a permanent human settlement in space. My paper won the NASA Grand Prize last April and they invited me over to meet astronauts and visit the Ames Research Center in CA. It was an unforgettable experience, like your current trip must be.

    You are an inspiration to many people like me. Your vision and determination are unbelievable.
    Have fun up there,
    Alexander

  44. سلام به همه ي ايراني هاي عاشق ايران
    به همه ي اونهايي كه تلاش مي كنند ايران رو ايراني نشون بدهند و به دنيا بگويند ايراني اگر بخواهد مي تواند
    و سلامي دارم به همه ي آنهايي كه ميگويند ثروت عاشق ايران بايد براي ايراني خرج مي شد
    از آنها مي پرسم اگر خودشان 20 ميليون دلار داشتند با آن چه مي كردند
    آن را براي چند نفر خرج مي كردند
    براي هر تعدادي كه خرج مي كردند يا كمك 1 روز به آنها بود يا كمكي براي سالها زندگي خوب
    اگر براي 1 روزشان كمك مي كردند فردايي هم در راه بود
    پس بايد زندگي اندكي را سالها تامين مي كردند
    آنها چه طور انتخاب مي شدند
    فاميل دوست آشنا هم شهري
    آنها چه طور آن ثروت را خرج مي كردند چند نفرشان به فكر فرو مي رفتند
    چند نفرشان به آرزوي بزرگ داشتن فكر مي كرد
    به بزرگ انديشيدن و براي هدف بزرگ تلاش كردن
    اما كاري كه عاشق ايران كرد فكر ها را متحول كرد
    هدف ها را تغيير داد
    اميدها را زنده كرد و نام ايراني را بر زبانها جاري كرد

    I am an Iranian telecom engineer living in VA. We are all so proud of you for what you have accomplished and we admire you that inspite of all the pressure, you still took the Iranian flag to ISS and proudly mentioned to be an Iranian. Message of peace is something beyond the borders. You have inspired so many women in Iran and all around the world. May god bless you & your family.

I am looking at my 7yr old daughter Artemis, and see you in her future. God bless you for your passion and will. Please kiss my planet Earth and tell her thank you for being a good mother and being the ONLY place in universe that could give us LIFE.

  48. Hello from down here…

    We should all be there with you by now. Most of us have The Dream and the brains to make it happen. The Human race needs to grow up and get out there. It does not make sence that we elect people that act like kids and teenagers.

    As you can see from your window, we all live under the same sky and same sun. If we were to put all the money allocated to killing and destroying this beautiful jewell to a real space exploration international program, together we can reach the stars.

    Enjoy this place of Peace away from it all.

  50. Hi there from a fellow Iranian man down back on earth, in Tehran :),

    First of all, a huge congratulations to you for all the hard work you have done to reach that point you are now, and I hope you’ll enjoy your all scientific mission, and I am eagerly waiting to see more of these from you and your hardworking family.

    I know you since I was following X-Prize and then you came and boosted the project so that encouraged people to make it happen.

    Since then I was watching you to see how you will finally get into space and this is it, you have reached this dream and I guess it is time to think of a new and bigger dream, and I am sure whatever it be, you will make it as well.

    I also want to use this position to reach you about another space related project, as my efforts to contact you or Mr. Ansari in the past monthes weren’t successfull. I am an small participant to Project SETI (you know, www.seti.org) and a few monthes ago all participants received a mail from Dr. Arthur C. Clarke (again you know him for sure) stating that the SETI needs donations (the total was below $800K I guess) to be able to continue the project. So I thought, your family with all that space ambitions and the money might be able to help them out, but my contacts with Prodea didn’t help as you were in the trainings in Moscow, and the support staff didn’t provide me any direct contact email address.

    So, I guess this comments might be read by a close relative of you, and if I am lucky, even by you, and you are the one who can help them, so please try to contact the SETI project to see if you can help or can raise donations for them.

    Sorry for such a huge comment, keep the good work, and it will be nice to read something back from you.

    Well done.

    Paymaan.

  52. Anousheh,

    I’s like to take a minute and tell you how thankful I am, that there are people out there that Dream things up like the Ansari XPrize. I’m positive that because of that, Space travel will be a lot closer than people have dreamed of. I’m estatic to be alive during this time.

    I Wish you a safe trip, Enjoy it, Soak it in, and Keep every part of it. I’m positive it’s Money well spent. Your living the dream.

    Congrats from Guelph, ON Canada.

    I am sure humanity is proud that people like you exist. You are source of inspiration and a beutiful example of how excellent a human being can be.

    I am an airline pilot who never gets tired to enjoy the views of our planet from the air, I just can imagine how you are enjoying those views of our lovely Earth from space!

    Thank you for sharing your unique and wonderful experience and God bless you and your family.

  63. Dear Anousheh,

    Congrats from ANU, ACT Australia.

    I was telling my 9 year old daugther, how you have made a history. I am an environmental policy researcher and concerned about sustainability of our planet.

    Should you have similar concerns, or have any message from the space - how beautiful the Earth is! and to insist others to save the planet?

    Come home safe, and tell your mum the story!

    Happy and healthy living in the SKY

  64. hi
    I’m Mohsen.do you like to have a mental experience at space:
    I searched about human knowledge for 5 years.the result of my researches caused to the mathematical model that can describe the human’s beheaviours.based on this model I predict that our feeling from the critical poins of our life(very positive and very negative) can be controled better by our nervous system when we have a low feeling from our weight.in the other word “the feeling of our weight has the inversed relation with our ability to control our nervous reaction at the critical points of our life”.
    you can imagine some uncontrolled reactions that you had in your life at the space,and then try to find your ability to control your.I predict that you can control your reactions better than when you were in the earth.and this in because of your feeling from your weight.
    reactions more better than when you were in the earth.

  66. Hello Anousheh,

    I just wanted to congratulate you on achieving this milestone in your life! After reading your writings and hearing positive comments from those who know you well, I’m sure you will find/create many more dreams to follow!

    I have enjoyed reading the comments about your “passion” - especially those posted by Peter Diamandis. Although I have not had the pleasure to meet Mr. Diamandis personally, he is very familiar to me at the moment since I was fortunate enough to go weightless with Zero-G just a little over a week ago on a flight for educators. I personally know that what you are experiencing - for more than those incredibly short 20 second intervals we had on the Zero-G flight - is simply indescribable and exhilarating. I hope everyone will have the opportunity to experience that someday. I have decided that I will have to find a way to experience it again - and again - and again. I think I could very easily become addicted to it! I usually am not envious of people, but those who have had the incredible opportunity to stay weightless for days or even months, command just a bit of envy from me. (Even more than ever since I have had a small taste of weightlessness myself.)

    I am also thrilled that your goals correlate very closely with the goals in my personal “passion.” My passion is iSPACE (interactive, Science, sPace and Aeronautics Center for Education), an emerging science center and future home of a Challenger Learning Center. We are situated in a tri-state area where we have the potential to reach hundreds of thousands of kids as well as thousands of teachers who in turn have the potential to reach many more kids throughout their teaching careers. Sort of that multiplier effect as in the movie “Pay it Forward” and a teacher’s dream! Our mantra, “Our Vision is 2020:Our Mission is Now” demands that we have a clear vision of what we need to do at iSPACE and also serves as a reminder that we need to work as quickly and diligently as possible to excite and inspire young people to pursue STEM classes and careers. I agree with you that space exploration has the potential to be one of the greatest motivational topics to engage youngsters and is a phenomenal tool that will help us identify and solve long-term and global problems. I am living my dream by traveling with iSPACE on its journey to fruition in order to make a positive impact on the kids and educators in my community. As you can probably guess, I am passionate about my work. Therefore, I do understand how passionate people such as yourself, are driven to achieve their goals. If someone is not consumed with a passion, then they cannot even begin to comprehend the momentous occasion this flight is for you. I do - so once again I offer my sincere congratulations to you!

    I wish you the very best on your flight and also with all of the wonderful things that are sure to follow. You have heeded Christa McAuliffe’s plea to “Reach for the Stars” - I have a feeling you will be doing a lot more reaching throughout your life.

    Godspeed,
    Bev

    Congratulations on your successful arrival at the International Space Station. Your commitment and efforts are a great inspiration, and are yeilding a fruitful harvest for you and for the many people who are following your flight. I must admit to a bit of healthy envy, but like many, am very happy for you and share your joy.

    When we flew together on G-FORCE One (ZERO GRAVITY B727) last year in Ft. Lauderdale, I was pleased to meet you and learn of your passion for space.

    Your flight to the ISS is remarkable. Thanks for showing us the way! I’m proud to have known you if only for short time. There are a lot of people around the world who know your on orbit experience will make the world a better place :-)

  72. Hello Anousheh,

    After a two day hiatus it’s good to finally hear from you again, and by the way congratulations for finally making it to the ISS. I’m sure i watched every NASA-TV broadcast there was and it was good to see you enjoying yourself so much ( i won’t deny that i was envious every step of the way :-) ). despite everything you know about space and space travel ( real and imagined ) i’m sure being up there is proving to be quite a revelation - and one heck of a sensory experience ( did i mention that i’m a bit jelous? ). Anyway i look forward to reading about your experiences, thoughts and feelings over the next week or so, so please feel free to write non-stop if you wish. Rest assured there will be plenty of us down here hanging on every word you write.

    By the way what was it like sleeping in Zero-G ( ok, micro gravity ) for the first time? I imagine it’s probably the best sleep one can ever get. That alone just might be worth going up there :-)

    Enjoy

I love the feeling you are giving me in reading your words, and especially how we are sharing it back on Earth on this blog amongst people from so many nations that supposedly are hostile toward one another. I only know that I like how this makes me feel, which is the true person inside most of us I know. That’s more important than anything, and what I tell my children. We’re all one as you have re-emphasized with your unique view. Thank you, Anousheh. Do not disappear, the world needs you.

  85. Dearest Anousheh,
    I knew of you before all this started. You are the wonderful person whom sponsored so many children through Child Foundation. My husband & I have been volunteering for CF for years now & I hope to be able to meet you closely as you are my idol.
    I know every organization is knocking on your door, but I hope that in the near future you will accept to support CF’s new Los Angeles Chapter.
    I just can not imagine how your sponsored children in Iran would feel if they knew who you were.
    I hope you realize that you have created many new dreams for women, especially Middle Eastern women. I can not wait to see what wonderful challenges you will take on with the power that comes with this new recognition.
    I wish you a safe & joyful journey home & hope to hear from you.

  86. Hello again Mrs Anoushe Ansari,
    Your journey has had us to think more about the space and have more dreams for that.I’m so excited by your journey that can hardly sleep inspite of being so much tired.You have disturbed my life but this excitement worths it.I wish more people would be like you so we can taste truely the meaning of life.

    This is undoubtedly a turning point in your life.From now on many ones specially many iranians are eager to follow your life.They are eager to know about your next projects and activities.

    When you come back home,your journey must have been like a dream for you and you must be willing to exprience it again may be to a more far away place out there in the unlimited space.But some what far?May be to another galaxy?I’m fully eager to know about your next desires and aims.

    I hope you take exact look of any details.There are few ones who have had what you are expriencing.You might see something they didn’t noticed before.Record these invaluble moments in your mind and heart and through medias.

    I hope you and your family more and more success in life,
    Thank you for sharing your dream with us,
    Be omide to ey yegaane jaavidan,

  90. I watched the hatch opening last night (L.A. time), I was so moved by seeing you there, it was as if I could feel what you were feeling. It’s strange for me to be following so closely somebody else’s accomplishments and having such strong feelings about it, it’s not like me. But I can feel this is something so important for me and everybody in the world, people still don’t realize how much SpaceShipOne’s flight and your flight mean, It’s a pitty that so many people are not enjoying this new milestone to which your are contributing so much and are in big part responsible for. I know very soon the whole world will be talking about this new possibility of going to space! I’m so happy for you and for myself because I know now the door to space is open for all of us and all thanks to people like you who don’t fear anything, never doubt themselves and just go for it!! Thank you Anousheh, thanks for ever! I can’t wait for my flight to happen!

    I’ve been following your activities since you left TTI (those were great times) and your brief stint at Sonus. I can’t tell you how thankful I am to have worked with you and Hamid.

    What you’ve accomplished these last couple of years staring with X Prize and now spending time at ISS is nothing short of amazing and very awe-inspiring in that you’re living your dream as we speak. You continue to inspire a great many people and are truly paving the way for future ‘tourist’ space travellers. I looked at the stars this evening and thought of you, there living your dream…WAY TO GO!!! God Bless and I hope your stay at ISS is more than everything you’ve imagined it would be.

    Best Wishes and Safe Returns,

  116. Hi Anoush,
    first of all congratulations for your launch, I really cannot imagine how beautiful is Earth from so high there.
    Enjoy your staying and please collect as many photo’s as you can…those will be gorgeous when shown in twenty years ahead from now to posterity ;-)
    I’m one of the many of our organisation who is doing his best to allow so many italian guys to fly into Space in the very near future.

  117. سلام انوشه جان. همت اراده و عزم راسخت را تبريك ميگم . نمونه اي بارز از يك انسان خستگي ناپذير و اميدوار هستي . من هم از بچهگي آرزوهايي در دل و سر داشته و دارم. تنها آرزوي من صلح و آشتي و پايان اين جنگهاي وحشتناك است كه هر روز و شب اشك من را در مي آورد نمي دانم روزي من هم مثل تو به آرزويم مي رسم. خيلي دوستت دارم و از دور ميبوسمت. منتظر برگشتنت هستم.

  121. با سلام خدمت خانم انصاري
    با عرض تبريك خدمت جنابعالي
    درصورت امكان يك نشاني از كشورمان ايران
    مثلا يك پرچم - ياهرچيزي كه فكر مي كنيد مناسب باشه
    اون بالاها قرار بدين
    ضمنا ديشب 20سپتامبر فيلم شما را كه با خانواده تان
    صحبت ميكرديد را از شبكه صداي آمريكا ديدم
    وخيلي مهيج بود.
    انشااله به سلامت برگردي
