Excuse me, no. That was the first human all-female space flight. The first all-female space flight was Laika, in 1957.

there's a hungarian singer/artist who named herself Tereskova after the original, so... kinda?

she's from the "alter" artist generation(s?) i think, or nearly so. none of them really became popstars, it was more of an underground thing.

often no musical talent, really shitty instruments, weird artsy stuff, deliberately bad music (as a joke i guess?), funny/nonsense lyrics.

they had fans from my parents' generation to mine i, or something like that. i was never really into this scene, except for a couple of absurd songs from AE bizottsag.

Still, if you think about it, it's weird no manned flight of several people had been conducted without men, but plenty without women.

Female cosmonauts/astronauts were always paired with men.
