Re: Pakistani woman astronaut gears up for spaceflight
This is what I don't get, if anyone achieves ANYTHING, why does their race/ethnicity/religion comes into play, even if that achievement has nothing to do with it? Its not just her, but rather all the "first black/hispanic/asian/ woman/gay/midget/black gay midget woman" achievements, as if their being a certain race has made them what they are....
On a personal level i'm sure its a very huge achievement for her and her family, and they should celebrate, she is already a smart,e ducated woman....but i doubt that her going into space is really going to affect the lives of regular everyday women in pakistan......
