@stainskoolkidz *Looking at map and pointing at countries* "Where's space? All I can find is the Vatican"

@daveyork, no, not like Omelia

[stainskoolkidz]

@daveyork0 yes, and most Americans who think that way couldn't find space on a map.

A lot of Americans wish that Nancy Pelosi could have been the first woman in space .. and that she was still there

@houghtonga yes but was just a passenger, rather than a pilot.

Thanks for Valentina Tereshkova. A true hero. My deep admiration is extended. All the best for you. I wish you health and happiness.

very brave woman indeed. i heard on the tv that she said how she would love to fly to mars even if it would be one way trip (of course no space agency would approve "suicide missions") but one must admire such spirit.

[houghtonga]

She logged more flight time than the combined times of all American astronauts who had flown before that date.
