Shandlanos 1,470 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Sally Ride, a woman whose kindness and intellect, whose willingness to converse with an ignorant, curious child inspired my lasting interest in space, passed away today at the age of 61. Let us all remember her for her graceful decency, her keen intelligence, and her pioneering spirit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Ride 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrThunder88 912 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Like the others who've gone, she helped humanity learn about space and the Universe in a way few others have. It's quite an accomplishment for anyone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DogMan 2,343 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 As the first U.S. woman and lesbian in space I think it's safe to say she has truly gone where no man has gone before. RIP. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

haugpatr 972 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I never really realized until today that her name sounds like a porn star name. R.I.P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Read the last line in her bio. So she was an idealist. Pancreatic cancer is a horrible way to die. I would only wish it on someone like the Colorado shooter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
