@grb090423 she's not only UK's first woman in space. She is the first outside both the US and the USSR e.g the first GB-European woman. However the 15th woman at all . Happy Birthday to her.😃
She was the "Girl from Mars" because she was working for the sweets nutrition company MARS.😃
Learning about others' cultures is good for us all, so I strongly recommend a film I was surprised is showing on Netflix. It's called Stolen.
It's about a Sami girl/woman trying to right a wrong. It's apparently based on true events and going by how we see indigenous folk treated, could well be close to the truth.
