Will someone please tell The Boston Globe that

That Valentina Tereshkova (Vostok Six, June 1963) was the first woman in space, NOT Sally Ride?

Ms. Ride, wasn't even the Second Woman into Orbit, that Honor belongs to the ridiculously over qualified Svetlana Savitskaya. No, Sally Ride was the USA's First Woman into Space, its a conspicuous honor, but in the end she was the third woman up there. The gender line buster of record was still Ms. Tereshkova in 1963...you'd think they'd know that at the Globe.
