Hello World
I’m finally here… the trip was long but definitely worth it… well let me start from the beginning…
The day started early for us in Baikonur. We got up at 1:00 am Baikonur time and had a short breakfast, followed by an alcohol rub down 
Then we were given a set of white long johns to wear under our flight uniforms to go to the launch site.
We had a brief prayer and blessing session and as we were leaving our rooms, we signed our bedroom doors. This is a tradition that they say started with Yuri Gagarin. They also say that the cleaning lady who came to clean the room the next day started scrubbing down the signature until she was quickly stopped. So, my signature now rests next to Greg Olsen, the 3rd Private space explorer and Marcos Pontes, the first Brazilian Astronaut.
I called my grandmother before I left since she could not be in Baikonur. She wished me good luck and safe return.
We then proceeded to the bus to go to the Launch site. From the Cosmonaut Hotel door to the bus is a short walkway. On both sides of the walkway there were family and friends and journalists snapping pictures and taking video footage. In the blinding lights of the cameras, I was able to identify all my family members who came for the launch. They were up in the early hours of the morning to see me off on my great adventure. My Mom was crying and everyone else was trying hard not to show their tears.
We got on the bus and headed to the launch site. During this whole time I was surprisingly calm. I thought that the morning of the launch, I would be a nervous wreck, but to my great surprise I had no fear or anxiety.
We drove to the building where we would prepare for our launch and we went in the room to get suited. One by one, we entered the room, first Misha Tyurin, then Michael L.A., and then me.
After we were all suited up, we went into a room with a glass wall on one side for the final approval from the officials and a suit leak check. On the other side of the glass wall, my mom, sister Atousa, and my husband Hamid were already in the room and seated in the front row. So were Misha’s family and Mike’s. The room was full of reporters. We sat there for a while waving and trying to talk using sign language with our family members as they would come into the room in small groups and leave to make room for the next group of people. We must have looked really funny on camera since we were making strange faces and gestures…
We did our leak check and were officially good to go. We were then escorted back to the bus as we waved to the crowd and reporters. The next tradition was the short stop of the bus for the boys to take a leak;-) This also apparently started with Gagarin and still goes on… Fortunately, I was excused from this exercise and was able to just mentally participate.
We stopped at the foot of the rocket and got out and walked up the ladder that leads to a tiny elevator barely big enough for the 3 of us. We got in and were lifted to the top section to enter the capsule. We went through a tent and then into the habitation module.
I was the first to enter. I was still very calm, excited… but calm. I don’t think my heart rate went over 100 (I’m usually in the 80’s). I had a permanent smile tattooed on my face. I was seated and strapped in.
L.A. came down next and got situated in his tiny space and last was Misha Tyurin. we were still about 2 hours away from launch and there was a series of procedures the two of them had to go through. I was responsible for three simple actions — to turn the condensation valve and switch it between habitation module and descent module, to open and close the oxygen supply valve as needed (pretty important task! ;-)), and to hand the other crew members the flight data files that were situated next to me. Fortunately, not too complicated and I was able to perform my duties as needed.
I followed their actions step by step through the flight data files and made some personal notes on the margins of my book, when I had a chance. Finally the moment arrived and the countdown started. LA, Misha and I put our hands together and said “Ready… here we go.” I thanked God for helping me realize my dream and for everything it has given me. I asked it to fill the heart of all its beings with its love and to bring peace to this beautiful creation we call Earth.
5… 4… 3… I’m really going…2…I love you Hamid…1… and a smooth lift off.
Watching Soyuz TMA 8 launch, I never thought it would be this smooth inside the capsule… It was like an airplane takeoff — then the G’s started but very mild. I think we hit about 2 or 2.5 Gs max… then the separation and the Nose Fairing ejected. Still very smooth. A ray of light filled the capsule and warmed my heart. I think I was laughing out loud. The joy in my heart was indescribable…
The separation of final stage was the most noticeable to me and then Weightlessness…
This wonderful feeling of freedom that puts a smile on everyone’s face. I slowly lifted off my seat and continued giggling. I just couldn’t believe it… to be honest with you, the whole thing is still like a dream to me… I was strapped in so tight that I couldn’t look outside. Finally when we were safe in the orbit, we were able to open our visors and to loosen our belts…
L.A. took his glove off and it started floating in the cabin. I could not stop giggling the whole time… I was finally able to take a look outside and saw the Earth for the first time… Tears started rolling down my face. I could not catch my breath… Even thinking about it now still brings tears to my eyes. Here it was this beautiful planet turning graciously about itself, under the warm rays of the Sun… so peaceful…so full of life… no signs of war, no signs of borders, no signs of trouble, just pure beauty…
How I wished everyone could experience this feeling in their heart, specially those who are at the head of the governments in the world. may be this experience would give them a new perspective and help bring peace to the world.
I think that is enough for now… I shall let you know about the ride up here in the next entry… I’m hungry for some space food now and will catch up with you in the next orbit… right now we are flying over the Pacific Ocean approaching Mexico…
Good luck and have a wonderfull time. I wish I was up there too.

Dear Anousheh…..thank you so much!!! reading your words just now of how you got to see the earth for the first time…..sitting here at work, tears are streaming down my face as I type this……do you know how the realization of your dream is lifting the hearts of so many of us down here on the sweet blue earth? you are carrying the hearts and minds of countless others. I wish I could give you a great big hug. please write more when you can!!! Patrick

Hey there welcome to orbit!!
I just watched the Shuttle Land today and it seems yall may have gotten a chance to view some of the flames as Atlantis streaked towards landing. Can you tell us how it looked from your perspective?

I wish you luck and I hope the leaders of the world can come together for peace and full space exploration. Thanks for all the efforts you have done to make this happen!
Good luck and have fun up there!

Hello Anousheh,
How are you doing? I’ve read you entries with much interest. Still hoping I can go up there too one day. How’s sleeping? Must be pretty strange in microgravity. I heard our Dutch astronaut Andre Kuypers tell too that the lift-off in a Soyuz was smoother than he had expected. Keep sending us your experiences!
Signing off for now,

Good description of the liftoff… was there much vibration? Noise?
Not to pry or anything, but could you let us know what it’s like to dream in weightlessness? I imagine I’d be dreaming about falling, hope that’s not true for you!
What an adventure! I was proud to tell my 5-year-old daughter about your ongoing story, and how I use to work at tti so there’s a mere 2 degrees of separation! She was abandoned on the side of a road in southern China when she was five days old, wrapped in an old towel and shoved in a cardboard box. You’d never guess her humble beginnings now…she’s active, inquisitive, intelligent and constantly pushing at the walls of her world to make it bigger and bigger! We always tell her that she can accomplish great things and nobody can hold her back because of her gender. You’re helping to prove us right in her eyes!

Dear Anousheh — I’ve just read your hearwarming blog with great admiration, pleasure and interest. (Although you describe how your tears rolled down your cheeks - in microgravity - your description of your experience was most moving indeed.) I’ve just come back from the South Pole, planning to soon dive 14,400 feet below the ice to the “real” North Pole and then to follow your footsteps as it is… to space. You are a wonderful inspiration to us all. I do wish particularly that our political leaders do heed your call for a wiser perspective.
With my heartfelt best wishes for a safe return,
Pierre

John Young’s old house is in my back yard here in Orlando. Everytime I see it, it helps me dream about one day doing what you’re doing.
The perspective from up there must be amazing. Does the world seem big or small from the space station? Are you able to take photos or video and post them on this blog?

سلام انوشه عزیز
مثل همه دوستان من هم به شما افتخار می کنم. مطمئن نیستم بتونم دو روزو تو اتاق خودم با همه وسایل مورد نیاز تحمل کنم چه برسه دو روزو تو یک کپسول کوچیک با اون لباسای حجیم! واقعا کار بزرگی کردید. راستی گزارشتون خیلی جالب و جامع بود. نمیدونم از اون لحظه ای که آرزوی دیدنشو داشتین عکس گرفتین یا نه. اگه آره حتما بذارینش رو سایت. یه سوال دارم . آیا قصد دارید در آینده به ایران سفر کنید و تا حالا این کارو کردید؟
آرزوی سلامتی و موفقیت براتون دارم امیدوارم همیشه در کنار آقا حمید موفق و خوشبخت باشید.
سعید از ایران (مشهد)
[Hi dear Anousheh,
like all my friends; I’m very proud of you. I can’t stay 2 days in my room with all it’s stuff, how could you stay in Soyuz that long with those suits??? I liked your blog.Did you take pictures from what you wanted to see? if so, please make it on-line ( on your blog) I have a question. Do you have any plan for visiting Iran in a near future? wish you and your husband luck, Saeed from Mashhad]

Dear Anousheh,
Patrick actually wrote what I was eager to write (and I’m sure many many others too!).
Thank you very much for sharing this experience with us! Having a quick break from a stressfull day of work in Sao Paulo, your description of your first moments in Space has absolutly filled my heart with hope and my eyes with tears… I wish you the most wonderful time and will also be looking forward to hearing from you again!

Dear Anousheh:
I chanced to come across your blog notes through the GMU - Masonwire link ( I am an alumni too) and must say was riveted after reading them. I have always had this passion for space but unlike you, my dreams took me away from pursuing a ’space flight’ route. So, as I read your notes, I empathize with you. It is really wonderful of you to have decided to share ‘your trip’ with us. I totally get it, when you say that being a very private person it was a serious step for you to decide to do that. I am the same way. This must be my first ever visit or comment on a blog site but I was compelled to write to you.
You are an inspiration for some and for others like me, a substitute of self.
Keep up all the good work you are doing and enjoy your journey! God bless you.
Sonnicca.
Comment by Sonnicca — September 21, 2006 @ 9:10 pm
We’re all watching with smiles on our faces too, Anousheh! We’re all proud, and a little envious of you too. Sean and Aidan ask me several times a day how you’re doing, and their school is following along too (I sent a patch I got at your launch party to school with them!). I think you have at least recruited a couple of new astronauts.
Take care and enjoy yourself.
Pat, Sherryl, Sean, and Aidan Clay

I’ve seen your story on tv, read it in newspapers all around And i still can´t believe that´s true: I can read about your infintely lucky experience by your own words; and still Better. Talk to you!
I can only say: Enjoy it!, it´s down here were all the problems are, however don´t be afraid to look at the other side of the sky
Your sky it´s quite different now than almost every person in the world.

Dear Anousheh… Firstly just apologize me about my elemental English - I’m trying to make it better!
Secondly… well, is amazing to read you. It’s a little step for you, a big step for all, specially for women, yes. I really enjoyed this chronicle, it seems like I was there, I hope it will be! To see my little blue ball totally in calm… here things are each day more difficult for all…
Thank you very, very much. Keep writing!!

Hi Anousheh,
I just read your blog and find it very profound. Thanks for the visual enlightening from your writing.
The Russians are very gracious hosts, and know what man yearns. Perhaps you can persuade NASA into opening a lottery for every other flight … say at $100 a ticket then some of the hard working taxpayers can have the journey of a lifetime like you.
Thank you for your enjoyable writing!
Comment by Eric Gozewski — September 21, 2006 @ 9:58 pm
A world without frontiers …… indeed what a beautiful planet we are lucky to live on if only we all realised it.
Sorry you coouldn’t get the internet connection out in space that you had hoped for but am very pleased to be reading your journals. I can’t imagine what it must have been like but I am so glad you are enthusiastic and not afraid to show it. Too many people become dull and serious which is a pity and so off-putting.
I look forward to the next instalment.
Keep grinning

Dear Anousheh, I just wanted to tell you how delighted I am for you, and how inspired. I have been involved with the space community since I was 15, and have always been disappointed that more women aren’t involved in space. I am sure that your trip will show women that space isn’t just for guys, it is for everyone. Congratulations, and I hope every minute in space is wonderful!

All I can say is wow!! Being able to see the Earth from space has always been a dream for me, as I’m sure it is for lots of people. And to read about your experience and how you felt, when you laid eyes upon it for the first time is truly amazing. I’ve always imagined that I would react the same way as you did if I would actually get the chance to see it with my own eyes.
I want to thank you for sharing your thoughts and
feelings. I really hope you’ll enjoy every second
of your time up there. You’re truly and inspiration.
Hope you will write again soon.
Take care

Hi Anousheh
So glad you are back on-line. I’ve been watching everything carefully on the web and TV since Monday, and waiting to read your account of the TMA-9 launch.
I stayed up all night here in the UK watching your preparations on NASA TV and the satellite channels.
After reading your last blog on Sunday when, it seemed, you were feeling the pressure a little, I thought you looked really relaxed during the preparations. Reading your latest blog it’s clear that’s how it was. I can’t imagine how you managed to stay so calm, but I’m sure that helped you to take in every moment.
I know you get asked lots of questions in these comments, but I’ve a couple which I’d really appreciate an answer to:-
· I’m sure that on the Soyuz downlink, I heard you shout ‘Poyekhali’ just after lift-off – was this something you planned, or a spontaneous reaction ?
· You had to wait for two hours on the Soyuz – how easy was this period. Did it pass quickly or was it a long anxious wait ?
· You have said you felt calm throughout the whole launch experience – I read that Greg Olsen’s pulse was only 60 at lift-off. Do you know how your’s was ?
Hope you enjoy every moment of your time on ISS and look forward to further instalments over the next week.
Best regards

سلام
خوشحالم که می توانم به این وسیله نظرم را به شما بگویم.
به نظر من شما با این هزینه ی زیاد می توانستید کارهای بسیار بهتر، مهمتر و به یادماندنی تری انجام بدهید.
کودکان و زنان زیادی در جهان به کمک نیاز دارند.
پیگیری ماجراجویی های فضایی از ابتدا محل تردید و اعتراض بوده است و یک نوع بولهوسی و ولخرجی بی فایده تلقی می شده است.
امیدوارم روزی طوری پولتان را خرج کنید که فارغ از هیجانات شوونیستی و تبلیغات تجاری بتوانیم به عنوان یک هم وطن و یک انسان نمونه به شما افتخار کنیم.
به هر حال برای شما سلامتی آروز می کنم.

Salaam Anousheh,
What a wonderful description you wrote. I can’t believe you can see the Earth with your own eyes. You are truly fortunate to be able to lay eyes on the Earth from space. What a sensational feeling that must be.
How must you feel that your name is now going down in history? First female space tourist, first Muslim woman, first Iranian?
I teach 5th graders, and we were talking about you today in class. We share our last names - so they were asking if I knew you
I wish I did!
Millions hope for something they can never have… you have joined an elite group of people who can see God’s creation from the outside. God bless you. We can only imagine the tremendous feelings you must have.
Salaam,
Shazia

Greetings Anousheh:
Your expressive prose makes me teary-eyed, just like when I watch the shuttle launch. A lump in my throat, and a fast-beating heart. This happens when I think of all the effort it takes to send a person into space. Just imagine when we do this all the time!
Best wishes on your trip!
Comment by Samuel Coniglio — September 22, 2006 @ 12:47 am
Wow! To think that you are experiencing all this and that we are receiving ‘open dialogue’ on your ‘views’ about earth, space travel, from a personal point of view and not as directed or expected from an organization space administration. Not that such feedback could be orchestrated but we can relate to your comments much moreso.
Take care and God Bless

[…] You really want to take the time to read this. It is an inexpressibly cool story, made even more so by the knowledge that a) it is true, and b) the author is writing it floating in zero gravity far above the Earth on the International Space Station. […]
Pingback by Blogging from the ISS, Anousheh tells of her ride to orbit - Out of the Cradle — September 22, 2006 @ 1:46 am
Hi Anousheh!
Heck of a vacation, don’t you think? Way to go!! You really do carry our hopes and dreams for a more peaceful world with you. Being just a couple of years older than you, I too have dreamed of going into space since I was very young. To watch you do it, and read what you see and experince, makes me feel like I’m almost their myself. Thank you for showing all of us that dreams can come true.
By the way, the fact that you were “giggling” on the way into space tells me that you still have alot of little girl tucked away inside of you. Don’t ever lose that, it’s the part of us that keeps us moving forward and trying to make things better for everyone. Wish apon a star for all of us, Anousheh, and come back safely to tell us what it was you wished for. Have fun and soak it all in.
One question: Did they have to dim the lights on the ISS since your smile showed up?? Your lighting up the entire universe and warming the hearts of millions with your trip into space. Please update us when you can on how things are going….
All our love, a huge hug, and best wishes for a safe return

سلام انوشه جان . امیدوارم که سفر موفقیت آمیزی داشته باشی و الان که در فضا هستی و از زمین دور مطمئنا احساسی وصف ناشدنی داری خیلی دوست دارم بدونم الان چه احساسی نسبت به خدا داری باید بینهایت نگاه زیبا یی ادم پیدا کنه حسی که ادم همه افریده ها را تقریبا به طور یکجا میبینه و خدا را. خیلی جالبه مثل مرز بین بودن و نبودن و جالب اینجاست که ما ادمها هستیم که این جای خالی را پر میکنیم و چه بهتر کسانی باشند که بتوانند معنای جدید از حیات و بودن و امید را در بقیه زنده کنند امیدی و حیاتی قدرتمند و زیبا همراه با عشق ورزیدن به همه ادم ها و هر انچه متعلق به خداست دست یافتن به ارزوها برای همه شیرین خواهد بود اما دست یافتن به ارزویی که باعث بشه به تمام ادم ها کمک کرد و هدفی والاتر و بالاتر را در خود داشته باشد مطمئنا در نظر هر کسی از هر فرهنگ و هر کشور و هر مذهبی قابل تحسین و تقدیری شایسته خواهد بود . و باید بگم که حرکت و عمل شما در سطح عالی انجام شده و امیدوارم این پیشرفت ها در همه ادم های ازاد اندیش تاثیر گذاشته و به عنوان سراغازی نو برای پایان های کوچک گذشته باشد. از اين كه يك بانوي ايراني تونست مرز ها و محدوديت ها رو در هم بشكنه
و به جايي فراتر از ديد آدم هاي زميني سفر كنه بينهايت خوشحالم .اي كاش همه ي ما يا حد اقل همه ي اون هايي كه ميخوان و تلاش ميكنن بتونن به عمق رويا هاشون سفر كنن..شجاعتت و خطر كردنت و قدرتت براي حفظ رويایت رو تحسين ميكنم
دوستت دارم به دليلي فراتر از هم وطن بودن كه به خاطر نمادينه شدن تو براي عاشق بودن و رسيدن. از خدااروزیی سلامتی برای شما و تمام همراهانتون را در فضا و در زمین میکنم امیدوارم که خداوند همراه شما باشد. سعیده و عادل

Anousheh: We are warmed by your dream come true! We are also so very excited for you as you truly set examples for all to follow - such a dream, such an accomplishment and such an experience only few have. We are so proud that you have lived the dream, on earth and in space. We look forward to your return. God bless you and yours.

Dear Anousheh, hi. As I had promised, we watched the place where all your wishes came true (ISS) this morning at 4:50(Iranian Standard time, 1:20 GMT) from our hometown: Shiraz.
You can find one of the pix I took from the moment, in my blog
Wish you a Nice ride

Dear Anousheh,
I remember the first time I saw you, being interviewed by Laura Greene right after the third successful flight of SpaceShipOne back in October of 2004. You spoke of how you looked forward to traveling in space one day. Here it is less than two years later and that wonderful day has arrived.
I just wanted to convey my personal thanks to you and your family for all that you have done for the dream of personal space flight. You have brought the day when all of us will be able to travel in your footsteps just a little bit closer both by your support of the X-Prize and by the inspiring journey that you are presently embarked upon.
I hope that this is just the first of many trips into outer space for you and for the rest of us.
Good Luck, Best Wishes and Peace

Hey Anousheh,
I’m 25 years old Persian-Canadian, I must say that I am very proud of you and very happy that you have reached your dreams. I’m sure this sense can be very satisfactory. You must write about the experiences there… I pray for your safe return to your earth! from the sky say hi to our Iran from water to water from the Persian Gulf to the Caspian sea.

Dear Anoushe,
Congratulations! I believe now you are the most successful Iranian in Iran’s modern history and I’m not exaggerating! I’m sure you know with this huge success comes responsibility. Iran and especially Iranian women are starving for somebody like you! I believe Iran’s future belongs to educated women and you can be the best role model/or even leader for them.
Keep dreaming,
M.F.

Daer Anousheh,
You made it. I watched the launch on TV and read your message to the world. It was beautiful. They brought tears into my eyes.
What I felt when I read your story and watched the launch on TV is undescribable. I could only imagin what you felt.
Make sure you take lots of photos.
Say hello to space crew on board.
I wish you all the best and have an enjoyable holiday in the spoace and safe journey back to Earth.
Take care,
Bita
Comment by Bita — September 22, 2006 @ 3:17 am
Hi Anousheh,
Have you ever noticed that you are not the first Iranian traveling up to the space? I am telling you millions of Iranians have already traveled or keep going to the outer space every single minute. But theirs is slightyly different with that of yours. You went up there by space shuttle and paid 20 million bucks or something but your fellow citizens get to the space not by spaceships but by opium, grass, heroin, etc. The price is much muh much lower as well.
One more thing, you just made the very right decision to move to the US. If you had stayed in Iran, now you would have to beg for official consent from your husband, father in law, alot of more people to be able to get a passport to travel to Turkey, let alone the OUTER SPACE. Anyway, I wrote all these things to bring a little smile to your face if you ever get time to read your comments. But please please please do not forget your country.
I personally feel proud that someone from my country did this. Through you, Iran captures the headlines all over the world again.
Thank you/ bon voyage

I’ve sent the link to your blog to many of our friends and family, as well as the travel industry trade press - you are a true inspiration and we’re proud to know the world’s first woman private space explorer.
I’m grateful to Peter for his passion and for being the inspiration that he is to us all. Your message to him was moving.

سلام
یه پسر 16 ساله هستم. از همین تهران.یه جورایی فکر کنم شبیه تو باشم.از بچگی نگاه به آسمون میکردم خیلی به نجوم علاقه داشتم هر کسی هم از من میپرسید میخوای بزرگ بشی چی کاره میخوای بشی ؟ بهش میگفتم میخوام فضانورد بشم.
بعد تقریبا همشون بهم میخندیدن که یه جورایی تمسخر آمیز که ایران فضانورد نداره. ولی الان به این نتیجه رسیدم منم میتونم. میخوام مثل تو باشم میخوام منم وبلاگمو از فضا آپدین کنم.
تو اولین زن فضانورد ایرانی هستی من میخوام اولین مرد فضانورد باشم.با تمام وجودم میخوام و به این آرزوم میخوام برسم.
اون موقعی که شمارش معکوس شروع شد من گریه ام گرفته بود. واسه این که پرتاب با موفقسیت انجام بشه من نزرکردم برم امامزاده صالح تجریش
واسه اینکه به سلامت هم برگردی میخوام همین کارو کنم
با افتخار عکستو بالای تخت خوابم زدم _البته با اجازه آقاحمید_

Dear Anousheh,
Thank you so much for your contributions, which has been on so many levels. Starting from being an inspiration for everyone in the world to being an ambassador for peace. Maybe this can be a cure for ignorance and prejudices in the world.
As I was reading some of the comments here, I came across one that addressed you as “Irandokht” (Daughter of Iran). I thought it was quite profound.
I can’t wait to see where you’ll go from here. We’ll be watching with pride and great anticipation.

Hi Anousheh,
It is a great feeling to be a part of your BLOG and to read the expressions and experiences you have encountered, do bring tears to my eyes….for me it is just unbeleivable that You, Hamid and Asif are such modest unassumng individuals.
You are now a legend and have created history and thank you personally for making a part of it, too…..you know what I mean.
Thanks, once again and I look forward to reading your experiences and meeting with you very soon.

I hope you realized that you are giving hope and happiness to a lot of people, not least to all the persian people around the world. I live in Sweden, Stockholm and all the persian people are very proud of you and to be from Iran.
Its ironic that a woman from Iran would be the first woman to travel to the space, but you have showed the world that everything is possible.
Enjoy your trip and I hope you have a wonderful time.

ولی فکر میکنم خوندن خط فارسی براتون جالب باشه اونم بین اینهمه کلمات انگلیسی
باید بگم رویای شما رویای منم بوده
منم مثل شما به هر کی میگفتم میخوام فضانورد بشم بهم میخندید
دیگه فکر میکردم غیر ممکنه یا حداقل من نمیتونم بنابراین تصمیم گرفتم فیزیک بخونم تا حداقل بتونم تو رشته نجوم ادامه تحصیل بدم.
حالا که شما رو میبینم کمی امیدوار شدم.
شاید یه روزی اسم منو بشنوید!
براتون ارزوی موفقیت میکنم.

I know 75 years from now when I’m old, I’ll still remember the mark you made. It’s a real joy and brings me to tears at the beauty and wonder of you enjoying something I hope to some day enjoy as well. Thanks once again.
