Anousheh Ansari, the first female private space explorer, made history in September 2006 as the first person to blog from space.
The Iranian born American businesswoman blasted off from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, as part of the Expedition 14 crew of the Soyuz TMA-9, to spend nine days on the International Space Station.

Ansari’s blog software of choice? WordPress!
The full interview with Matt will go to air in the land down under on the 27th May, which, incidentally, is the 4th Birthday of WordPress, so don’t forget to send out your Congrats!
The podcast will be available the following day at
Tech Talk.
