“Anousheh wrote a blog at spaceblog.xprize.org that invited readers to share her experience. The blog captured international attention, garnering more than 25 million hits and featuring about 500,000 comments from readers around the world.”

Editor’s note: If you go to the website, and look at all the postings that have been made, and add up the number of comments posted, you’ll get a few thousand comments – at most. Certainly not 500,000. And if you go to the lower right hand corner of the webpage under “Space Blog Stats”, as of the time of this posting, there have been 1,403,640 hits. That is no where close to 25,000,000.
