    Excellent milestone!

    This will be a great milestone even if coincidental...congrats to the women in the space program for their success!

    But, lest we Americans pat ourselves on the back too much over this, let's all remember that the Soviets had women in space a full 20 years before we did. We're no trailblazers in this regard, by any means.
