Respect to the people in the comments who are celebrating her achievement with praise and nothing else. Great stuff, that's humanity

Rather than celebrating the achievement of a human being accomplishing something most of us will never do, it turns into a race subject. Get over it people, celebrate humanity as a whole. First last second third, celebrate the achievement!

Bul dust.
