fWotD Episode 3308: Sally Ride Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Tuesday, 26 May 2026, is Sally Ride.Sally Kristen Ride (May 26, 1951 – July 23, 2012) was an American astronaut and physicist. Born in Los Angeles, she joined NASA in 1978, and in 1983 became the first American woman and the third woman to fly in space, after cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova in 1963 and Svetlana Savitskaya in 1982. She was the youngest American astronaut to have flown in space, having done so at the age of 32.Ride was a graduate of Stanford University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in physics and a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature in 1973, a Master of Science degree in 1975, and a Doctor of Philosophy in 1978 (both in physics) for research on the interaction of X-rays with the interstellar medium. She was selected as a mission specialist astronaut with NASA Astronaut Group 8, the first class of NASA astronauts to include women. After completing her training in 1979, she served as the ground-based capsule communicator (CapCom) for the second and third Space Shuttle flights, and helped develop the Space Shuttle's robotic arm. In June 1983, she flew in space on the Space Shuttle Challenger on the STS-7 mission. The mission deployed two communications satellites and the first Shuttle pallet satellite (SPAS-1). Ride operated the robotic arm to deploy and retrieve SPAS-1. Her second space flight was the STS-41-G mission in 1984, also on board Challenger. She spent a total of more than 343 hours in space. She left NASA in 1987.Ride worked for two years at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Arms Control, then at the University of California, San Diego, primarily researching nonlinear optics and Thomson scattering. She served on the committees that investigated the loss of Challenger and of Columbia, the only person to participate in both. Having been married to astronaut Steven Hawley during her spaceflight years and in a private, long-term relationship with former Women's Tennis Association player Tam O'Shaughnessy, she is the first astronaut known to have been LGBTQ, a fact that she hid until her death, when her obituary identified O'Shaughnessy as her partner of 27 years. She died of pancreatic cancer in 2012.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:13 UTC on Tuesday, 26 May 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Sally Ride on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Joey.

Amy and Deanna go full defense mode over the Santa Clarita “takedown,” insisting the intensity felt conspiratorial, while also admitting the commute is brutal, the I‑5 bottleneck is real, and yes, you can still get two-day Prime. They praise the relatability of The Valley's motherhood era but question how fair it is to film with newborns, clock Brittany as charming yet emotionally stunted, and side-eye her Watch What Happens Live “mommy makeover” advice and the Hooters birthday reveal. They call Brandon a walking red flag who seems eager to secure camera time, and they roast the Steak Boulevard caviar-with-no-vegetable energy. On the cast drama, they criticize Michelle's zero-nuance tattling, agree Jasmine's “Lala wouldn't hang with me off-show” read was true, and argue Lala inflamed things for storyline. They fully turn on Luke for pressuring postpartum Kristen. In Summer House, they speculate about the franchise shifting houses (or to the Ozarks), frame Amanda's behavior as jealousy/entitlement, call West's hair-stroking wildly inappropriate, and argue Sierra keeps handing a “Good Time Charlie” too much power, while also applauding Carl articulating his Kyle-trigger dynamics.BLISSY Wake up with clearer skin, smoother hair, and cooler sleep.

Standing on Ireland's wild Atlantic edge is always unforgettable, but if you're planning to walk the Cliffs of Moher coastal trail, a few important updates will shape how you experience it. Cliffs of Moher viewed from the cliffs trail Cliffs of Moher Coastal Trail Update: What's Open and What's Not The Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre is fully open, and the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Trail is also open – but they are no longer directly connected. That's the key change travelers need to understand. You can still enjoy both experiences, but you cannot step from the Visitor Centre onto the long-distance cliff trail like you could in the past. Access points at the centre have been closed, even though the trail itself remains open. This article is based on podcast episode 335 featuring Ollie Gleeson, owner of Ollie's Tours, a Doolin-based provider of Cliffs of Moher tours and other adventures.Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Cliffs Exhibition at the Cliffs of Moher What You Can Do at the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre The Visitor Centre still offers: Easy access viewpoints Views from atop O'Brien's Tower A maintained walking area (roughly 500 meters each direction) Exhibits, facilities, and parking It's a great option if you want iconic views without a long hike – but it's not the full cliff walk experience. What's Happening with the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Trail The coastal trail from Doolin toward the cliffs remains open and is still one of the most rewarding walks in Ireland. However: The southern section beyond the Visitor Centre towards Hags Head is currently closed Trail improvements are in progress but limited by seasonal restrictions Repairs have already improved sections near Doolin, making parts of the walk easier and less muddy than before. How to Walk the Cliffs of Moher Trail Right Now If your goal is to actually hike the cliffs, you'll want to start in Doolin – not at the Visitor Centre. Start from Doolin for the Best Experience From Doolin, you can: Walk approximately 7 km (about 4 miles) toward the cliffs Enjoy uninterrupted coastal views along the way Reach areas just short of the Visitor Centre This route delivers the dramatic scenery most people expect when they picture the Cliffs of Moher. Use the Shuttle for a “Best of Both Worlds” Day From May through late summer (possibly into September), a free shuttle bus operates from Doolin to the Visitor Centre. A smart plan: Walk the cliff trail from Doolin Return to town for lunch Take the shuttle to the Visitor Centre for additional views This lets you experience both the rugged hike and the classic viewpoints in one day. Parking in Doolin You'll find several parking options: Paid parking on Fisher Street (near shops and pubs) Parking at Doolin Pier Limited parking at businesses like Hotel Doolin (for customers) Plan ahead and avoid leaving your car where it's not permitted for the day. Should You Walk with a Guide? You don't need a guide, but there are a few reasons you might want one. Ollie Gleeson with my tour group before our walk to Doolin (2023) Benefits of a Guided Walk Navigation and logistics are handled for you Safety support on uneven or exposed sections Local stories and history bring the landscape to life The trail can include narrow paths, uneven footing, and changing weather conditions, so having someone who knows the terrain can make a big difference. If You Go on Your Own Keep these tips in mind: Wear proper footwear (hiking boots recommended) Expect mud in places, especially after rain Stay well back from cliff edges Don't underestimate wind conditions Even on calmer days, the Atlantic weather can shift quickly. Weather on the Cliffs: What to Expect There's a saying in Ireland: there's no bad weather, only bad clothing. At the cliffs, that feels especially true. Conditions can include: Strong winds (sometimes strong enough to push sea spray upward) Sudden rain showers Bright sunshine Sometimes all in the same hour Dress in layers, bring waterproof gear, and be ready for anything. Including mud. Meet Your Guide: Ollie Gleeson Ollie Gleeson is a local guide from County Clare who leads daily tours along the Cliffs of Moher and to the Aran Islands. His offerings include: Guided cliff hikes from Doolin Aran Islands experiences, including Inisheer visits Bike tours and even proposal or vow renewal experiences His focus is simple: help visitors enjoy the landscape safely while sharing the stories that make the place memorable. Book direct at Ollies Tours. Learn more & get inspired on Instagram & Facebook. A Memorable Way to Experience the Cliffs Even with access changes, the Cliffs of Moher remain one of Ireland's most powerful landscapes. With a bit of planning – starting in Doolin, using the shuttle, and preparing for the weather – you can enjoy an incredible day along the edge of the Atlantic. And if the wind picks up while you're there? Just consider it part of the adventure.

What does it take to go from studying the universe… to flying through it? On this episode of Casual Space, Beth welcomes Dr. Steven A. Hawley—NASA astronaut, space shuttle veteran, and author of his new book, Eyes to the Stars, A Memoir for the Space Shuttle Generation. Listen to enjoy the remarkable journey of a young astronomer from Kansas who never expected to become an astronaut—and what happened when he said "yes" anyway. Steve shares the quiet but powerful decisions that shaped his career: staying open to opportunity, embracing uncertainty, and trusting preparation when timing finally aligned. From his early fascination with astronomy to deploying the Hubble Space Telescope, this conversation reveals what spaceflight is really like—both technically and personally. You'll hear behind-the-scenes insights from the Space Shuttle era, including the realities of astronaut selection, the discipline of mission training, and the teamwork required to operate in one of the most high-risk environments humans have ever entered.

The decline of enjoyment in today's air travel experience, special TSA treatment for Congress members, consolidating ATC functions, TRACON evacuations, Artemis II, Part 141 training organizations, and aerial refueling. Also, Av-Con 2026, Spacewoman documentary, “souls onboard,” and EAS. Aviation News ‘The alarm bells are going off': Air travel hits new lows Recent events have made commercial air travel a difficult proposition for many air travelers. We see increasing fuel costs and increasing ticket prices, long lines at some security checkpoints, TSA workers absent, recent accidents, air traffic controller shortages, equipment malfunctions, and more. The U.S. Travel Association's senior vice president of government relations, Erik Hansen, said of passengers, “What they're seeing is chaos, and what they're seeing is a system that doesn't work.” Delta suspends special congressional services amid shutdown In a statement to The Hill, Delta said, “Due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown, Delta will temporarily suspend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta. Next to safety, Delta's no. 1 priority is taking care of our people and customers, which has become increasingly difficult in the current environment.” Those services have included airport escorts and red coat services. Senate passes measure prohibiting preferential airport screening for lawmakers Just days before the Delta action, the U.S. Senate unanimously approved a proposal to end the special treatment members of Congress get at airports. That included permitting members of Congress to speed through or skip security screening checkpoints. To become law, the House would have to pass the bill, and the President would have to sign it. LaGuardia controller staffing may have violated procedures on night of collision, document shows On March 22, 2026, an Air Canada jet landing at LaGuardia struck a fire truck, killing both pilots. LaGuardia tower’s standard operating procedures specify that a controller cannot perform both air and ground duties. The NTSB is investigating the roles of the controllers at the time of the crash. A 2023 rule in the LaGuardia Tower Standard Operating Procedures states, “Positions at LaGuardia Tower are not to be consolidated to one position prior to midnight local time or 90 minutes after the start of the shift, whichever is later.” Those familiar with the matter said the rule remained in effect in 2026. D.C.-area ATC evacuations followed 2025 smoke event which injured controllers On March 13, 2026, FAA operations were disrupted after Potomac Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) reported a strong smell. Fire responders investigated, and the source was identified as an overheated circuit board. That incident caused a ground stop lasting a little over two hours, affecting DCA, IAD, BWI, and nearby airports. On March 27, 2026, the TRACON was evacuated again after another strong chemical smell, reportedly originating from an overheated battery backup or other electrical component in the break room/IT area. That second evacuation also triggered ground stops and significant delays across the region. A similar event occurred in April 2025, when smoke entered the Potomac TRACON control room. That incident did not lead to an evacuation, but did leave multiple controllers with health issues severe enough to affect their medical certificates. Artemis II Headed for the Moon The Artemis II Mission flew four astronauts around the moon before returning them to Earth. The planned 10-day test flight is the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972 that humans have departed Earth orbit. NASA's SLS (Space Launch System) rocket and Orion spacecraft lifted off from Launch Pad 39B at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 6:35 p.m. EDT on April 1, 2026. The Artemis III mission will launch a crew in the Orion spacecraft atop the SLS rocket to test rendezvous and docking capabilities between Orion and commercial spacecraft (SpaceX and Blue Origin) needed to land astronauts on the Moon. NASA will announce specifics on the Artemis III mission design and crew closer to the 2027 launch. Artemis IV astronauts will travel to lunar orbit, where two crew members will descend to the surface and spend approximately a week near the Moon’s South Pole conducting new science before returning to lunar orbit to rejoin their crew for the journey back to Earth. Report Calls for Major Flight Training Changes The FAA has released a 471-page report by the National Flight Training Alliance (NFTA) titled A Comprehensive Modernization of Pilot Training Conducted by 14 CFR Part 141 Training Organizations, which states: “The goal of this modernization effort is unambiguous: to develop a robust certification and regulatory framework under 14 CFR Part 141 that stands alone as the preeminent accreditation and method by which aviators are trained throughout the world. Under this new framework, achieving FAA certification would represent the highest standard of training excellence available anywhere negating the need for further accreditation or external oversight. The American flight training system would, in this vision, stand alone already.“ The key recommendations include: Establishing a dedicated Central Management Office responsible for all Part 141 pilot school initial certification and ongoing certificate management. Establishing both Safety Management Systems and Quality Management Systems within the Part 141 training environment. Reforming how the FAA manages and oversees certificated pilot schools. Developing industry consensus standards as an alternate means of compliance with Part 141 regulations. Reforming the Part 141 examining authority framework. Expanding Flight Simulation Training Device (FSTD) and Technology Credit and Usage. Modernizing training course appendices. Replacing Provisional Pilot School with Registered Pilot School. A-10 Warthog Being Tested With Aerial Refueling Probe Bolted Onto Its Nose A test A-10 has been flown for the first time with a refueling probe replacing its normal aerial refueling receptacle. The A-10 successfully connected to the aerial refueling drogue of a C-130. The Air Force uses a flying boom system, while the Navy uses a probe-and-drogue system.

Host: Carol MacAllister Guests: Sandra Derr, Kim Pfeffer, James Merkel Description: WV's Transportation Department is a gift to all those residents who no longer drive for whatever reason, temporarily or permanently, or when winter storms make it impossible to shovel their cars free, even if the roads are plowed and salted. The well-trained drivers are intrepid in such situations, but even on the nicest days, they are there to take residents where they need to go on both campuses and off campus. On-campus transport is free, but when a resident has a medical appointment, the charge is prorated based on mileage and requires a reservation. In addition, the department provides residents with transportation to various cultural events on both campuses and in town, such as the symphony or the Fulton Theater. And don't forget those shopping trips for groceries and other necessities. On an average good-weather day, they may respond to 175-250 requests, and on snow days, it can go up to 400. Delays can happen, especially when a driver is out sick or a vehicle needs service. But this podcast leaves no doubt that the staff is dedicated to providing WV residents with transportation services when they need them the most.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down how the Electoral College map is likely to look after the 2030 Census, another staggering policy failure under California Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Ilhan Omar incident from last night, and the 40th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.First, they welcome projections showing the next U.S. Census shifting the Electoral College map in Republicans' favor. Red states are expected to gain eight electoral votes, swing states one, while blue states lose nine. California is poised to lose four while Texas should gain four. If the projection holds, it could give GOP candidates an easier path to the White House starting n 2032.Next, they react in disbelief to a $236 million California program meant to help mentally ill individuals cycling through homelessness and jail that has reportedly helped just 22 people. Gov. Gavin Newsom insists the number is higher, but even generous estimates point to a massive failure and another example of ineffective governance in deep-blue states.Then, they discuss Rep. Ilhan Omar being confronted and having liquid squirted on her during a public forum Tuesday night. Omar was not seriously harmed and completed the event. Finally, Jim and Greg reflect on 40 years since the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after liftoff in 1986, sharing where they were when it happened and how it became their generation's defining national tragedy until the 9/11 terrorist attacks.Please visit our great sponsors:Try QUO for free, PLUS get 20% off your first 6 months when you visit https://Quo.com/3MLTake your personal data back with Incogni.

The Shuttle was published in 1907 and written by Frances Hodgson Burnett.It is a social novel about wealthy American women marrying into the British aristocracy, examining power imbalances, exploitation, and women quietly reclaiming control within rigid class systems.
A countdown, a cheer, and then a white bloom in the sky. We start with that January morning when Challenger lifted off with a teacher aboard and a nation watching, and we unpack how a routine launch became a rupture—O-rings, cold air, and the way live TV freezes time. The story isn't just technical; it's personal. Sneaking a screen at work, bargaining for a miracle, and remembering how hope hangs on for a few impossible seconds. From there, we follow the thread of wonder into a brighter palette.Cue the Batman theme. Adam West's deadpan responses and the pulpy poetry of Bam and Pow show how camp can be both silly and exacting. We dig into the Batmobile's improbable lineage—from the 1955 Lincoln Futura.Then it's a crate-dig through the Beach Boys Party album, where Barbara Ann's singalong charm and Dean Torrance's cameo capture a band between eras, loose and luminous before Pet Sounds. We jump to Elton John's Your Song and the city-streaked cinema of Dire Straits' Skateaway—drums, Roy Bittan's piano, and a roller girl writing her own movie. We also get candid about taste with Blondie's shift to The Tide Is High and Rapture.Finally, the volume tilts toward Public Image Ltd.'s Rise and the notorious Album project. “May the road rise with you” meets “anger is an energy,” a split-screen of blessing and bite, wrapped in no-frills packaging that turned the grocery aisle into a design joke.Learn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in My Shoes Facebook and Instagram pagesReach out to us at musicinmyshoes@gmail.comSend us a one-way message.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 When Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premiered as a spin-off of Star Trek: Discovery, many fans were over the moon with the return to episodic televisions with tie-ins to The Original Series. For a time, it felt as if Trek's golden age was back. But as the series evolved, the producers and writers began to see it as a playground for experimental storytelling within the Roddenberry framework. In this episode of The Ready Room, hosts C Bryan Jones and Larry Nemecek look back at Season 3 and ask how well the limited 10-episode canvas was used and how the writers' strike impacted the quality of the stories and continuity of the stories as we examine each episode one by one.
