Space tourist runs business from orbit
You can get email anywhere these days

SPACE TOURIST Anousheh Ansari is running her business from the orbiting space station, according to agency reports.


Telco millionaire Ansari is apparently checking her email regularly and is getting reports from her work while she is on the International Space Station.

She said it was wonderful to have all that technology up there and it was just like she never left the planet.

Ansari paid $20 million for her ticket on the Soyuz spacecraft. It must have been the first flight she has taken where she did not have an in flight movie or a complimentary bottle of champers. More at Zee News.
