Now, this site is called Action A Go Go. We primarily focus on the lighter side of things, such as good guys taking out terrorists, good guys defending Earth from aliens, good guys in car chases, good guys blowing stuff up and so forth.
There's much testosterone behind these pages, so we also tend to have pictorials the revel in the female form.
There was discussion on doing a pictorial of Sandra Bullock, but we did one not too long ago, and it can be found here.
So what then in prep for the release of Gravity?
I'm the science fiction columnist for AAGG and the emphasis is usually on the fiction aspect of things. So, for once, will focus on the science aspect.
All indicators are that Sandra Bullock will be playing a character of strength, guts and intelligence. You know....the "right stuff." Therefore, decided to list real life examples of those very same qualities.
Please find listed below every single U.S. female astronaut that's been to space. If you click on their name, a link will take you to their Wikipedia page so that you can learn more about their amazing lives.
