As you may have heard, pioneering lady astronaut Sally Ride died of cancer yesterday. Because gays could not legally marry in the state Ride, a lesbian, resided in, Ride's longtime partner will get screwed a bit when it comes to the estate Ride left behind, and whoever runs the Mountain Goats Twitter account took offense when gay marriage opponent Mitt Romney decided to praise her.

Sally Ride was the first American woman to go to space, and the youngest American to go to space at the time. She was cooler than you.
