Ride amongst the stars in heaven, your struggle is now over. You inspired entire generations of girls to study their math and science harder to want to grow up and be just like you. Your legacy will live on.

I was in grad school when she flew the first time. There's a song called "Ride, Sally, Ride" that they played on the radio at the launch! RIP, Astronaut Sally.
