Sally Ride died on Monday. She was America's first woman in space. I only know who she is because E's Science Camp is named after her. Wife told me the news last night, then added she was gay.
"That's cool," I said.
"Well, she had to hide it while she was alive," she said.
"Ok, not cool."
But, but what about the male astronauts who went in space with her? They finally thought, "Cool. A chick. A chick in space, and why is she not attracted to me?"
They're now thinking, duh, that makes sense.
A cool, cool strong woman, a role model for my girls, dies and all I can think about are the male astronauts? Yup. That, in a nutshell, is a man, or caveman, to be more accurate.
R.I.P. Sally Ride.
