Assalam wa alaykum

I have to thank you for the amazing and detailed descriptions that you gave us…it tends to leave the rest of us down here wondering why we aren’t doing enough to reach the stars:-)
I think it is beautiful how your story unfolded & you showed the world that it is possible to live a complete life , to fulfil your dreams and to overcome all barriers & obstacles.

Because you have been such a big inspiration in my life by never giving up , i will be adding a link from my blog to yours.So that everytime I post something i remember your story and hopefully all the other buddying engineers that read my blog and yours too will find that zeal to perservere in their dreams.

Shukran for everything.
Wassalaam

Allo Anousheh. I’m really happy that you came back safely on Earth. Thanks you for sharing those intense human emotions and experiences with us. I’ve began to translate some short passages of your posts in French. It is an humbling experience. After a difficult pregnancy i had to put my work on hold. I’m going back softly on the labour market while practising my craft working bit by bit on you space experience. Thank you inspiring me and giving me this translation idea that brings me back to my domain of work. Hope everything is well with you. My best thoughts to you…

Hi Anousheh
Congratulate you on your healthy trip. How much you’re happy of this?
How much you’re satisfied with yourself that you had a trip to space in order to make your childhood wish true.
I’m a woman and I had many wishes I tried a lot but I couldn’t reach them any more. you know what? Because the more I’ve done the less I gained. This is the reason. I’ve many problems in my own life that I don’t want to tell you about them because there isn’t any need to inform you about them. When I think that you spent that much money for enjoying yourself in the space and see some of the people exactly in the society you’re living or the country that you’ve heard about them. They even don’t have money to bur some bread. God is so kind and compassionate but I can see the differences between people easily.
You spend lots of your money for an enjoyment that doesn’t have any educational benefits for you. Of course not exactly you because you saw the space with your eyes not the pictures or the photos I mean the other people. May be you’ve reached to your goals.
I wish you could open your eyes before deciding to go to this trip because if you did that you could see the people that need real peace in the world not the mottos which everyone can say.
The earth is beautiful from space; we’re in this world on the earth and can see the beauties.
I’m proud of an old woman who spends her money without saying anything to help others. I’m proud of a person who understand others not just herself. These are the things that I’m proud of.

Be happy and enjoy your life.
Leila

Dear Anousheh

You have inspired many through your accomplishments and briliant narration of your wonderful experience in Space. You have changed lives and lite candles of hope and determination in the hearts of many aspiring beings who had the good furtune of reading your blogs and follow you around in your fantastic trip up. One can say you were the briliant Persian Princess who was sent out to Space as the ambassador of exploration, hope, kindness, comittment and energy in behalf of the humanity. I can not wait to read your “Book” on your experience. I hope NASA will seize the opportunity to ride this public wave of positive energy on space exploration by getting you onboard their exploration programs. I am so proud of my sister Amousheh and her lving anchore in life Hamid! Write that book, carry on the good work you have started and make us ever more proud. Surely much credit must go to our beloved American and Russian and a host of other nations for making this all possible. This has been one big bright star in the sky of humanity. Many thanks to the Soyuz and ISS crew and all the wonderful people on the ground who supported the mission from A-Z. With wishes of peace and hope for humanity.

Dear Anousheh,

I was reading your blog entitled “On leaving orbit” while my 2 kids playing on the floor behind me and I dont know why but I cant help my tears from flowing. I guess its the feeling and emotions I felt reading your message, REAL POWERFULL and SINCERE… you are truly a blessing and an inspiration. If only I can have the same drive and will you have. I wish you and your loving husband the BEST in the world. I hope you will continously inspire the human kind and make a difference in the world. And I also hope that like what you’ve said, WORLD LEADERS would hopefully one day experience the same to change their view and perspective of how we should live on the land of Earth.

I am from Canada, married with 2 beautiful kids, and hoping to one day meet the First Woman who orbit the outer space.

Welcome Back and Thank you.

Dear Azadeh,

Thanks for your nice comment. I can’t agree with you more on this.

With all the respect I have toward Anousheh, I think this was a new way of enjoyment of one’s life, rather than seeking for PEACE.

However, one thing that I can suggest Anousheh to really reach her (peaceful in words but not at all in action!) words is that she can be one of the representatives of UN and travel different places to gain donations for poor.

Yours,
Mehran

Dear Anousheh

C O N G R A T U L A T I O N!!

I believe that in the world of reality; we should live real. I’m a 22 year old girl, a university student in Iran. I was a child like all other children I had my childhood dreams and wishes. One of my wishes was being a spacewoman. I loved to be and even I wrote a story about it in which I was the central character. I’ve my wish at this time but not by spending lots of money, I want to be by my knowledge and my education. I don’t want to be a tourist of space.
I’ve read your purposes of this trip. I’m living in a society that there are so many children who don’t have new cloths for going to school, I see those who their biggest wish is to have a favorite meal just for one time; I can see people who don’t have any shelter to spend the snowy and rainy days and nights. By looking at these people’s life I prefer to let my wish just remain as a wish or dream. I don’t try to come it true because when I help others to reach their simple wishes I can reach to all of my wishes. This is more pleasurable and enjoyable for me.
One of your goals was to reach the message of PEACE in the world. You could find your message here on the earth not on the space. Your daily notes don’t help others to find the best way for their life. They just show that when a person has lots of money he/she can live like a star in the world. She can spend all her money on everything she wants both reachable and unreachable.
Yes it’s true that a rich person can make impossible things possible. You have proved it by your outstanding work. This is not PEACE which you were searching for.
There are other sources which can help us to understand what the space is and what the space like.

At the end I’d like to thank you for showing (discovering) a new way for spending money to rich people.

Azadeh
