Doubling down: GOP wins big [Fritzworth] »
July 23, 2012
Sally Ride (1951-2012)
The first American woman in space has died, according to her official website. She was 61 and had been battling pancreatic cancer.
In 1983, Ride shot into space as a mission specialist aboard Challenger. She went back in 1984, and was scheduled for another mission that got scrapped after the Challenger disaster.
RIP, Ms. Ride. And, of course, Godspeed.
