Third woman into space, at that time she was also breaking the age barrier, being the youngest American to go into space at age 32 on STS-7 (Challenger). _________________________ "...Tomorrow's come a long way to help you."

I had recalled she was slightly older than my dad, but never could remember how much. _________________________ The way to get things done is NOT to mind who gets the credit for doing them. --Benjamin Jowett No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. --Eleanor Roosevelt The day we lose our will to fight is the day we lose our freedom.
