Mrs Ansari, who recently described space as being “in my soul and in my heart”, said before take-off that she was looking forward to seeing Iran again from high above Earth. She has not been back since she left.
She hopes that a new generation of girls with similarly big dreams will be staring back at her up among the stars. She said: “I hope to inspire everyone — especially young people, women and young girls all over the world, and in Middle Eastern countries that do not provide women with the same opportunities as men — to not give up their dreams and to pursue them.
“It may seem impossible to them at times. But I believe they can realise their dream if they keep it in their hearts, nurture it and look for opportunities and make those opportunities happen.”
