Wow sad news, way to young.

I'm sorry for her family's loss.

But you could change the inaccurate thread title - A Russian lady was in space 20 years before her:

This is exactly what the fuck I'm talking about over in the non-Prince

music or whatever it's called forum:

When celebrities and those within their sphere die, posters act like

fools. RIP Usher's stepson. RIP Whitney Houston. Let a woman who

actually contributed something meaningful to our society, history, culture

and science, she gets a handful or remorse.

Fuck that forum, the whole lot of them are starfuckers.

Sally Ride:

requiescat in pace

R.I.P.

Pancreatic cancer's a motherfucker.

RIP
