Using the unique signature of your butt, like a fingerprint, to identify an individual. It’s happening in Japan. I feel like this has been happening on Tumblr for years, though.

I have finished the series, and I was not disappointed. Though the storytelling hit sort of a rut towards the end, I think the trilogy was till definitely worth a read. I do love a good dystopian novel, and when there are three — and the main character is not a dude — it’s definitely awesome when it hits the shelves. If you haven’t read them yet, and you want to, you’ll likely find it worth your time.

So you can have a bit of Doctor Who anywhere you go.
Um. If I had a smartphone, yes. Unfortunately, I’ll have to settle for watching Matt Smith’s sweet, sweet face on Netflix.

First Female Cosmonaut in Space: Valentina Tereshkova
Born March 6, 1937, Valentina is a retired Soviet cosmonaut, and was the first woman in space. She was selected out of more than four hundred applicants, and then out of five finalists, to pilot Vostok 6 on the 16 June, 1963, becoming both the first woman and the first civilian to fly in space, as she was only honorarily inducted into the USSR’s Air Force as a condition on joining the Cosmonaut Corps. During her three-day mission, she performed various tests on herself to collect data on the female body’s reaction to spaceflight.
Before being recruited as a cosmonaut, Tereshkova was a textile-factory assembly worker and an amateur parachutist. After the dissolution of the first group of female cosmonauts in 1969, she became a prominent member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, holding various political offices. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, she retired from politics, but remains revered as a hero in post-Soviet Russia.
