What about the first astronaut, Laika? She never gets mentioned much, and she died on her mission.

Who are these astronauts that are only in it for the thrill? I want names.

I know what the Chief looks like and that isn’t him.

Yep, just reading now. But I found out here.

It’s headlining on major news sites, now. (USA Today, MSN, etc.)

That was also my first thought.

I’m sad to only find this out in the comments section of a site.

I just found out Sally Ride was a lesbian. It would have been amazing to know this growing up as a gay kid.

Did anyone else see the space-themed book & and the inscription to Miles O’Brien, and assume Sally Ride autographed a book for actor Colm Meaney? :)

Meaney played a man named Miles O’Brien on two Star Trek series, so that’s an appropriate name for a real-life space journalist!
