An astounding group of people, each with their own wonderful story. I have bookmarked this to go back again and again.

This is what women can do when given the only thing they require.

I put a six foot black rocket out of visible range with a single D engine.

There's a simple rule. The center of gravity has to be ahead of the center of pressure for it to be stable. Other than that, it's just a matter of gluing cardboard tubes together. Apparently that doesn't work so well for extraterrestial travel. Seems cardboard isn't suited for the task.

was a matter of controversy? It was. They became airline pilots. The controversy is over.

It seems like a lot of people fret over things that end up being no problem at all. Women taking their rightful place in all professions is one of those things. It never really was a problem. It's just a problem for narrow-minded people, and they are a problem in all areas.

Right now, a lot of those narrow-minded people are fretting over marriage equality. They'll discover, eventually, that there was never anything to fret about.
