In a Galaxy Far, Far Away …
Friday, September 29th, 2006Sorry, Anousheh honey. I’m not feeling your pain.
Iranian-born American Anousheh Ansari, having been-there-done-that, dropped $20 million for a round-trip ticket to the International Space Station and something to talk about at the salon.
Now I figure that $20 million would buy a pretty damn good list of while-you’re-in-our-cosmos travel tips. Evidently not.
Anousheh’s been blog-itching about enduring primitive primping conditions. A coiffed space ‘do with mere water bag and dry shampoo. Wet and dry towel bathing. Teeth brushing, rinsing and swallowing ….. not spitting.
Which brings me to the recycled water.
All water in the International Space Station is recycled. Ewww. Those used workout clothes are air dryed so the water conduction contraption can collect and purify the sweat before Anousheh and the boys fill their water bottles.
And then there’s that come-to-mama zero gravity.
Eight days sans the seven signs of aging?
Anousheh, honey, it was worth every million.
