Sally Ride, the first woman in space, passed away recently after a long bout with pancreatic cancer. Farewell, Ms. Ride. :~(
I was ten or eleven years old when she went into space. I remember it being such a big deal in class that week.
RIP Astrochick. :~(
She wasn't the first woman in space. She was the first AMERICAN woman in space. But rip regardless.
Oh Duals, didn't anyone tell you? America is the first at everything. First people to discover America. First people to discover sunlight. First people to discover sex. Hooray for America, Duals!
Are you kidding me? There was an astronaut I never heard of called Sally Ride?
Sally RIDE... the ASTRONAUT?!!
And she's DEAD!! I find out she exists after she's DEAD?!!
RIP coolest person person in the world and the space around it. I don't know what you look like, but here is my visual tribute to you based on the information I have:

I'm pretty scared of her fangs, Eggie. Even moreso than her awesome space-blaster from 1920.

Ha, Swedes discovered sex. I meant America.

At best it was a co-discovery. I'm pretty sure the dude was American and the chick was Swedish. So we each get some of the credit. :=
Also, why am I not surprised that unlike Eggie, Dualnames knew who Sally Ride the lesbian space astronaut was. :cool:
Cool picture, Eggie. If I were her, that's exactly how I would want to be remembered! :cheesy:
July 23rd, 2012: The first and last time Dualnames is right about something.
Hold on to that feeling, drew. :P
Also the first lesbian (or at least bisexual woman) in space too. So go lesbos!

Should we take this as a hidden intent to send all homosexuals to space? :P
