p2pnet.net News:- Anousheh Ansari blogged where no female tourist has blogged before when on September 18 she blasted into space aboard a Russian Soyuz spacecraft with US astronaut Mike Lopez-Alegria and Russian cosmonaut Mikhail Tyurin.

During the two-day trip to the International Space Station, Ansari, 40, blogged that she, “became space sick because the Soyuz capsule is constantly spinning on its axis,” says the CBC.

“Space smells like a burned almond cookie,” she said on her blog, “with what the Associated Press calls an uncommon insight into everyday life on the international space station through the eyes of an American businesswoman,” says The National Ledger.

She was back on Earth by Friday.

How much?

A cool $20 million.
