On this day we celebrate the accomplishments of one of the bravest sisters of all time. Comrade Sister Valentina Tereshkova She went into space, alone, in a piece of Soviet JUNK and spent more time in space than anyone else up until that time. After 46 orbits of the Earth she had to re-enter the atmosphere and PARACHUTE OUT OF the capsule because the Russians hadn't figured out how to land what they just put up in space. Those are balls as big as church bells. She's the real deal and should be on every teen girl's wall as someone who reached for greatness and deserves to be emulated. She was a communist but a brave communist.

Yes, let's hear it for Valentina!
Every year I make it a point to remember her. Every kid I ever taught knew about her too.
