Mercury/Vostok flyers
Comrades:
With the passing of Valery Bykovsky a week or so ago, Valentina Tereshkova is the last of the original 12 solo space travelers. Not totally surprising as she was the youngest at the time of her flight. She remains active in politics and is often an ambassador at large for the Russian Government. After her flight she went back to school and eventually earned a doctorate in engineering. A few years ago, she volunteered for a one-way Mars mission if that were possible. Hey, Elon . . . .
