She did so much for women in science, technology, engineering, and math. I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid and she was the reason why.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ: I was weeping at my desk this afternoon.

She went to my high school for a while.
OK, all the bad news I can handle. Look, cheetah cubs!
