Lady Astronaut

I found "The Lady Astronaut" on Etsy. It is a beautiful piece of digital art created by Crystal Graziano of Los Angeles. It. Is. GORGEOUS!!!!

A Lady And Her Cat Astronaut

Another fantastic piece of space art by Daniel Freeman of Kaleidoclasm Art. In space, there is no up or down. Few animals make better pets than a cat. Plus their small size would make them ideal companions for a space colony. Not sure how well the catsuit would work, though. ;) 

This was happily commissioned by Jennifer Lewter.

Rest in Peace, Sally Ride

Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, passed away at age 61 on Monday, July 23, 2012. She was a huge inspiration to me. I love what she said at a NASA news conference about her history-making flight: "It's too bad this is such a big deal. It's too bad our society isn't further along."
