    To me, she kicked ass for what she did, not for anything to do with her gender.

    Crankin this one up in her honor.

    RIP Sally. Being able to say you went to space is something I can only DREAM of.

    This news really surprised me. :(
    She always made it sound like traveling into space was no big accomplishment but it surely was.

    Every time I hear/read her name, I think of "We Didn't Start the Fire"
    "Now YOU listen. When we are on this ship, you are to refer to me as 'Idiot' not 'You Captain'!"
