I can't resist posting on the ultimate expedition taken by explorer Anousheh Ansari, the first female spaceflight tourist. Ansari was on the trip of a lifetime as the Soyuz rocket carrying Expedition 14 to the International Space Station lifted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on Monday.

Expedition 14 will arrive at the outpost early Wednesday and Ansari will likely face the most cramped quarters ever reserved for $20 million. Though I guess most adventurers do relish "roughing it."
