I just read that Sally Ride died today. I never went through a wanting to be an astronaut myself phase as a kid, but I definitely thought they were super cool in that way little kids worship things. Sally in particular is one of the astronauts I won't ever forget.

I was tearing up a little reading about it. The article on i09 was actually very sweet!

Some of the headlines, though... "Sally Ride, First US Woman In Space, A Lesbian, Dies Of Cancer At 61" Space lesbian <3
