Thank you Robert for listing the women who have flown in space. Interesting. collectSPACE continues to educate us on a daily basis and thus promotes STEM. |

In another article I read about Rubins, she states she's a fan of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica TV series, especially the character Starbuck. With her hair short or pulled back, Rubins definitely looks like her! |

Don't see much resemblance other than both blonde and women of similar ages, and first names.
