First female space tourist counts down

A Russian Soyuz spacecraft was set to explosion on Monday carrying a woman who would accomplish a trio of space firsts: the first female tourist, first female Muslim, and first Iranian in orbit.

Anousheh Ansari, 40, an Iranian-American telecoms entrepreneur, joins a Russian cosmonaut and also US astronaut in the cramped interior of Soyuz TMA-9 for a flight to the International Space Station (ISS).
