Miss “Annousheh Ansari”, who was born in Iran but later became a US citizen, is the fourth ever space tourist and the first female space tourist has landed to Earth today.

The capsule carrying Anousheh Ansari as well as crew members from the US and Russia touched down in Kazakhstan early today.

In a statement from space tourism firm Space Adventures, Ms Ansrari was quoted as saying the $25 million trip had exceeded her expectations.

She said:

The experience was more than I had ever imagined. Seeing the Earth from space will be forever etched in my mind. (Hat tip: RTE News )
