RIP indeed. I remember my parents having me watch the launch on TV when I was a little boy. Valentina Tereshkova was actually the first woman in space, back in 1963, though.

Russia had many of the firsts (artificial satellite, living creature in space, human in space, female human in space, etc.).

R.I.P. Ichiro's tenure with the Mariners. That means I'll probably root for the Yankees if they make the playoffs. I think the only time I did that was in the 1996 World Series.

Sherman Hemsley, 74, of TV shows fame; and probably one of the best All in the Family spinoffs, plus one of the greatest theme songs with lyrics.
