As you may know, Anousheh Ansari, who is behind the XPrize Foundation (which aims at helping develop private space travel and exploration), is currently orbiting around the earth in the International Space Station (ISS). She has a blog in which she describes what life onboard a space station is like, including what she sees, eats, and the difficulty to brush teeth and wash hair (because water doesn’t flow).

To be more specific, Anousheh is not behind the X-prize but rather made a substantial contribution to the X-Prize Foundation for which the prize was renamed the Ansari X-Prize. In fact, the donation was made by the Ansari family not just Anousheh.
