XPRIZE boss Anousheh Ansari says the best moonshot ideas are ‘audacious, but still achievable’

Already an astronaut (she was the first female space tourist), engineer, and serial entrepreneur, Anousheh Ansari recently added another accomplishment to her resume, with her appointment as CEO of the XPRIZE foundation. Ansari served on its board for many years, and along with her family, sponsored the organization’s first competition, the Ansari XPRIZE. The $10 million contest ignited a new era for commercial spaceflight.
