Anousheh Ansari Blasts off to Space
The first female to travel to space as a tourist, Anousheh Ansari, has blasted off from Russia on her way to the International Space Station. The Ansari family were the prime sponsor of the Ansari X PRIZE (a US $10 Million dollar prize won by Burt Rutan - funded by Paul Allen - with Space Ship One in 2004).
You can view a Soyuz TM rocket, like the one Anousheh launched in today, by loading this collection of 3D models. The collection shows the launch gantry and other nearby buildings at the Russian Baikonur launch site as well as your choice of several rockets. After loading the file 
, select the Soyuz TM model. These models were built and posted by 'jpwade' at the GE Community.
