Valentina Vladimirovna Tereshkova
(born 6 March 1937) is a retired Soviet cosmonaut, engineer, and current member of the Russian State Duma. She is the first woman to have flown in space with a solo mission on the Vostok 6 on 16 June 1963. Tereshkova also became the first civilian to fly in space as she was only honorarily inducted into the Soviet Air Force in order to join the Cosmonaut Corps.
Once you've been in space,
you appreciate how small and fragile
the Earth is.
