collectSPACE Mary Cleave, space shuttle astronaut who led NASA's science division, dies at 76Former astronaut Mary Cleave, who launched twice on the space shuttle before becoming the first woman to head NASA's science division, has died at the age of 76. Cleave's death on Monday (Nov. 27) was confirmed by NASA's outgoing associate administrator Bob Cabana, who was also a shuttle astronaut. "I'm sad we've lost trail blazer Dr. Mary Cleave," said Cabana in a statement. "Mary was a force of nature with a passion for science, exploration and caring for our home planet. She will be missed."  |

Mary and I crossed paths several times during our careers. She was a sharp engineer, a good friend, and could always find a way to make me laugh. She will be missed. |

I was fortunate to hear Dr. Cleave speak twice.I once gave her a pack of Peanut M&M's as she said it was one of her favorite space snacks in a video. She smiled. |

This is really sad. Dr. Cleave certainly seemed to be one of the astronauts with a lot of personality, who would have been fun to hang out with. Particularly like the story of her office nickname. Rest in peace, "Sanitary Mary." |
