Yelena Serova is officially the first female Russian cosmonaut to arrive at the International Space Station (ISS) and she has made it clear that she will not welcome questions about her hair maintenance while aboard.

According to BBC News, Serova is the third female cosmonaut to enter space, but the first to serve as an ISS crewmember in the 17-year history of the U.S.-Russian joint mission that is the floating science lab. Joined by one American astronaut and a male cosmonaut, the Soyuz spacecraft took off from Kazakhstan Thursday and arrived late that night.

Serova, 38, is an engineer that has spent the last seven years training for a tour aboard the ISS, so she was not thrilled to field questions about her hair during a press conference.

"Can I ask a question, too?" she replied to one particular inquiry, according to BBC News. "Aren't you interested in the hair styles of my colleagues?"

She also deflected a question about her 11-year-old daughter and how the young girl would manage without her mother for six months.

"I'll be the first Russian woman who will fly to the ISS," Serova said. "I feel a huge responsibility towards the people who taught and trained us, and I want to tell them that we won't let you down."

Despite governmental tensions between the U.S. and Russia, astronauts from the two nations have been able to maintain a working professional relationship aboard the ISS. However, the two nations rely on one another to maintain the lab, as well as ferry the crewmembers to and from.

Serova follows NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg, who was the last female aboard the ISS in 2013. According to CBS News, family members also got to bid one last "see you soon" when the new crewmembers got to the ISS.
