She was a highly educated and accomplished person. But are these REALLY "firsts"?

• first woman to fly on a space shuttle mission after the Challenger disaster
• first woman to lead the Science Mission Directorate as associate administrator

They are REALLY scraping to get "firsts" these days.

first woman to fly on a space shuttle mission after the Challenger disaster

That makes me wonder who was the first man to fly on a space shuttle mission after the Challenger disaster.

Every person in the media these days must be distilled to their least common “tribe.” This distillation is destroying the culture that made America great.

It was the “melting pot” that should have been expanded to include those who were traditionally excluded. But the crucible of American culture is what made the Alloy that the world envies.

There is really no need to call out firsts for things like Astronauts until we reach Mars.
