Is anyone doing a mission after seeing today's Google doodle?

I saw today's Google Doodle... And I recognized her, Sally Ride. I didn't know today would have been her birthday, but seeing that right after a introspective memorial day hit me right *there*. :(

Anyone planning a mission in her memory today?

Oh, for the record, yes I watched it live... My teacher when I was a kid sat and talked with us after. I think this is part of why I am so damned protective of my kerbals.

I think Merv DeGriff is confusing Sally Ride with Christa McAuliffe, the school teacher who was aboard Challenger.

Get one for me please; I don't know what a 'Google doodle' is.

(But if it's the specialised logo they do for various events, it says nothing about Sally Ride here. Probably just one of those things that only means anything to citizens of the United States)

Well, we are the most important people on the planet.

Also, Google is a U.S.-based company.
