That would be Comrade Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova.
She orbited in 1963. Here she is in 2010 with NASA astronaut Catherine (Cady) Coleman, who was born in 1960:

BTW, thanks...
She died of pancreatic cancer, which is an equal opportunity killer.
Thanks to both you and DayGlored for reminding us of all or part these events. Excellent.

Among the homosexual population, black homosexual males have the greatest difference, living between 9 and 10 years less on average. White lesbians have the least difference among homosexuals, somewhere around 1 to 2 years less on average.
The average lifespan of a lesbian being 42 is bogus and has been debunked ad naseum.
I am to tired to post sources but you can research it if you care to.
I have a theory on that. As a man ages, his libido wanes, and this motivates him to seek new and exciting horizons. 'Nuf said. Well, except that I got this idea when I read some kind of chick magazine article about a woman whose husband had taken a male lover into their own home, and she didn't know how to deal with it.
Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman in space, back in the mid-1960s.
From the ACS stats, it appears about 20% of pancreatic cancer occurs in people under 60. Not exactly 'rare.'
Impossible to know for sure. I've been acquainted with a few women who have lesbian partnerships that were previously married and had families. Makes you wonder what the marriage breakup was like.
I just kind of shrug. It's none of my business as long as it's not in my face.
I’m wondering if anybody has done a study of the affects of long-term spaceflight as far as the incidence of Cancer? Seems to me that an awful lot of astronauts have died of relatively rare forms of Cancer. I know that radiation shielding & solar flare detection are major engineering efforts within NASA.
When Elton John turned 60, openly homosexual BBC America host Graham Norton said on his show, "A gay man reaching 60 is like anyone else reaching 100."
Since you can't seem to search this on your own, I'll give you this to get you started. There's another link within if you really care.
Actually most US astronauts are still alive and that’s even if you include the Mercury astronauts.
Of the 44 who have died so far, 26 have died in accidents, not just disintegrating shuttles but plane flights and motorcycle crashes, 10 from cancer, interestingly Stuart Roosa died at 61 from pancreatitis which is one of the risk factors for pancreatic cancer, 5 died from heart attacks, Karl Henize while climbing Mount Everest.
Other than John Swigert who had a tumor appear in his nasal cavity, there doesn’t seem to be anything statistically abnormal going on.
Cite your source. I'm thinking you don't have one and I'm not clicking on some unknown and unspecified link labeled this.
Many of the reports at your link are based on the ages of gays in studies or discussion panels, only a few studies attempted to quantify lower life expectancy or higher mortality, and that was in male homosexuals before HIV drugs. More importantly, you seem to be extending the health issues of male homosexuals - which are well known - to lesbians. There are differences, you know.
No back up for your definitive statement, that life expectancy of lesbians is 42 years.
That statement is idiotic and so are you.
Here's an easier one. This is the Life Issues Institute.
This link gives lesbians' life expectancy as 45. There's a lot more statistics out there but if you don't like my previous link, you're really not going to like reading homosexual websites.
She did an amazing job in her performance. Daughter Kathryn was with me and found her to be inspiring.
Along with Sally Ride, these women encourage and inspire another generation about flying.
That is always a good thing!
Hate to tell you, but this is not a valid scientific study and would never make it into a peer reviewed journal. Basing survival statistics on ages published in obituaries from homosexual market newspapers vs. mainstream newspapers is not a good sample. Better luck next time.
You homosexuals are really something. You believe that being a homosexual somehow grants you an extended life span or that it’s at least as long as a non-homosexual’s, you demand proof of any other point of view, then won’t read it.
Why don’t you show me your evidence for how being a homosexual extends your life expectancy.
And by the way, since you won’t read my first link, Psychological Reports is a peer reviewed scientific journal.
You're very quick to ad hominem attacks on people who disagree with you, because you are unable to support your statement with valid scientific evidence. I am heterosexual, and have always been heterosexual. I lost my beloved husband to cancer, and have some familiarity with cancer risk factors and mortality statistics.
Once again, male homosexuals do indeed have a high risk for shortened lifespan, everyone is aware of this (despite your accusations to the contrary). However, lesbianism is not a risk factor for pancreatic cancer. Your link has a 1998 paper from Dr. Cameron from the Family Research Council. Dr. Cameron references AIDs in the paper, for which lesbians have very low rates of transmission, while male homosexuals have high rates of transmission. Simplifying it for you: Male homosexuals have very different health issues from female homosexuals. Males homosexuals tend to get AIDs, while lesbians don't.
