    Default Sally Ride - First American Woman In Space

    RIP. Broke more than one barrier on her ride into space on the space shuttle Challenger in 1983. A world class hero.

    ...Into the night sky rode the explorer on a silver steed of thunder chasing the path of glory.

    My deepest respects to her family.

    I never really thought about her contrabution to the world, until I saw her passing in the news today; for that I am somewhat ashamed.



    Flying Free


    Flying free within the sky's,
    My mind is free, and my spirit's high.
    Strength tis there within.
    With life aways nigh.

    I fly with the birds,
    Soar with the eagles,
    Flitter with the brightly colored,
    And glide with the magestic.

    Always will I be flying,
    And never will I drop.
    For my mind is free and my spirits high,
    While flying in the sky's.


    by, Nyki Thomas

    I wouldn't be Hirlau - I doubt she would have wanted it any other way.

    Great poem!
