Wow! She was younger than I thought!

Tweet from Mike O'Brien (whoever he is?) Sally Ride is to the shuttle era what Neil Armstrong is to Apollo.

RIP

So sad, and pancreatic cancer is so horrible.

Her obit indicated that she was survived by her partner of 27 years (a woman). I suppose this means that she won't be receiving survivor's benefits?

--pretty awful.

I'm getting awful damn sick of people dying of pancreatic cancer. It seems to be just about the only cancer left where your diagnosis includes a conversation about getting your affairs in order. Tragic.
