Very nice. I remember reading a fascinating magazine article about Resnik and her life sometime after 51-L, which I will try and locate at some point - seems like she was pretty awesome, I'm sorry I never got to meet her.
Thanks, Ash! Very nice tribute.If I'm remembering correctly, while Judy was not the first American woman in space, I believe she was the first person -- of any gender -- of the Jewish faith to fly in space. In this irrationally divided and contentious world, I think that is a rather special thing.-Doug

Glad you are enjoying this!Although I think Boris Volynov was the first ethnically Jewish person in space, I am not sure about his religious beliefs
