    Oh, I genuinely like this casting, actually.

    Outside of Twilight, I’ve enjoyed most of what Kristen Stewart’s starred in. I really enjoyed “Happiest Season” and “Equals”.

    I get the feeling it won’t end well…

    Maybe I’m wrong and it’ll finish out with a bang.

    Kind of wish she was playing the astronaut who drove across the country with a car full of weapons while wearing a diaper to confront her ex’s new girlfriend. Sally Ride is cool too though.

    I remember that happening as a senior in high school. We followed the whole mission.

    As a teacher, I kept saying that I would not follow the space missions for that reason. We would talk a bit about it but not in depth.

    Decided one year to go a head and follow one with my students.

    The year was 2003 … Columbia.

    I heard the explosion above our school. A piece of it landed on our school property and shut us down for a day.

  5. Holy crap, I had a picture in picture over the title so all I really saw was “The Challenger” and “Ride” and my immediate thought was “what ghoulish-ass amusement park would stoop so low as to- oh Sally”

  6. Tangential, but I loved the Challenger story arc in *This is Us.*

    The first episode has Kevin saying “You know, all my problems started with the Challenger explosion;” and they kind of don’t mention it again… but eventually there’s a whole episode about how the children watched it happen live, and how it affected them.

  7. I preferred the depiction of Sally in For All Mankind, where they gave her a gun, in space.
