Space tourist
MOSCOW : Anousheh Ansari, a US citizen of Iranian origin, will become the world’s first female space tourist when she blasts off aboard a Russian rocket on Sept 14, the launch company said on Friday.
Daisuke Enomoto, a Japanese entrepreneur who had hoped to lift off in a Soyuz spaceship, was deemed unfit for the 10-day journey by a medical commission earlier this week.
Ansari, a 39-year-old chairwoman and co-founder of Prodea Systems, Inc., a digital home technology company, will be the world’s fourth space tourist…

I meant in a few decades. That’s nothing to Pakistanis… 1947 only feels like yesterday.
Re: Iranian Astronaut
I'm sure most of the word is feeling left behind since it is so easy to dominate space by having a national become a Space Tourist.
