It's one of those strange coincidences -- I was taking the KSC Launch Control Center Tour on Monday, and they have a wall of mission plaques there for every manned mission launched from KSC over the years. And the tour guide went out of his way to point out Ms Ride's.
It was a couple hours later, as I drove back to the hotel, that NPR informed mee of her passing.
It's a bit eerie, realizing that she died roughly around the time I was going shutterbug on that wall of plaques. And I'm not even sure I got hers -- I was busy getting close-ups of the Challenger and Columbia's final missions.
