1. Cool accomplishment
I enjoyed telling my daughters about these women this morning - only I couldnt remember their names when my girls asked me.

Soapbox time: to me, it's very disappointing that the orbiter flights to the ISS, and the astronauts themselves, don't get more press. Not that I need "uplifting" news every day, but rather than following the mantra of "if it bleeds, it leads" with the newscasts, how about some lead stories on these 4 women (and the rest of the crews) and what they're doing while on orbit (one of them is a trained teacher). I would love to see the astronauts' names being the ones that are "household" names, rather than all 29 of Tiger Woods cheating partners....
