“As a little child, I cried because I wanted to fly into outer space. My parents found it hard to pacify me with toys. I also wanted to explore the depths of the ocean floor as much as I wanted to sail across the high heavens. And so I became a PADI-certified scuba diver and also a student pilot.”
-- Namira Salim. "Namira — first female astronaut from Dubai," Khaleej Times Online, 2 April 2006. She would be the first Pakistani woman to be in space on the Virgin Galactic Space Ship in 2008.
