"Now who was the SECOND woman to orbit? ...and what was her claim to fame before that flight?"<br /><br />Good question.<br />Maybe we should have our test?

Yeah, Google saves me the trouble of trying to keep stuff in my brain.

7 out of 7, which was quite a pleasant surprise. I wasn't expecting to do that well.
