Broke barriers and inspired astronauts. Gone at 89.

Had a Bluetooth earpiece long before they were cool.

Yes, she was much more than the one iconic role. I mean no disrespect...

Ah, sad news. RIP.

And yes, indeed, about the earpiece. :D

She's gone but will live on in our memories.

Sad to hear about her passing. She was truly iconic in her role and she literally broke barriers and inspired many to go further than they would have otherwise.
