Overhyped
That's what Keith Cowing says that Anousheh Ansari's flight is being.
I agree. It's great that she's flying, and I hope that it provides useful inspiration, but Space Adventures has gone overboard. I'll be much more interested in what she does with her money and time when she gets back, in terms of helping private enterprise.

Give 'em a break.
She is the most photogenic one of the lot.
The marketers need as much freedom on this as she will tolerate.

Btw, any idea what's the record number of people in space at the same time?

I love it how in a long, grumpy post, he writes this: "Hopefully, if nothing else, a few children in our overly tense and grumpy world..."
But wagging a finger at other people from atop a soapbox is what NASAWatch does best.
