Universe Today has an article about Yi So-yeon, the first Korean astronaut and also the youngest woman (29) launched into space. Very cool! I like seeing younger folks getting to space. Someday there will be even younger folks, and then teenagers... and someday too there will be a baby born in space. It'll be hard to get anyone younger than that.
