Space Renaissance International wants to pay tribute to Anita Gale for her achievements as an engineer working on the space shuttle programme, as a space role model for women and as a dedicated leader at the National Space Society. She has been a great inspiration for many, and an engaging and positive person in number of space initiatives, including the SDG18 Space4All with NSS partnering with Space Renaissance. We shall bring Anita in our heart and memories during our ventures on Earth and beyond Earth.

Bernard Foing, SRI President

It is very sad that we now have one competent woman less, and no longer at our side, in the fight for expansion into space.

Marie-Luise Heuser, Head of Space Renaissance Academy Philosophy Laboratory

The passing away of Anita is an unrecoverable loss for the space expansionist movement. SRI is standing on the side of NSS, mourning our friend and colleague. Anita wanted the NSS to be a partner proposer of the Space 18^th SDG, in memory of the late David Dunlop. We will continue your restless work, Anita. Wherever you are bringing your extremely brilliant and supportive thoughts and actions, have a safe and joyful trip to the stars! Ad Astra!

Adriano V. Autino, SRI, CEO and Founder

Anita was an intelligent, gracious, and wise person. Her gift was being able to see the big picture and not get bogged down in trivial details of little consequence. That is why she was an excellent leader. As a friend, she was generous and thoughtful. I am already missing her greatly.

Alfred Anzaldúa, NSS, International Committee; SRI, Board of Directors
