Background of Sally Ride
Sally Kristen Ride was born on May 26, 1951, in Encino, California. From a young age, Ride displayed a keen interest in science and sports, excelling academically and athletically. She attended Stanford University, where she earned a bachelor's degree in English and physics, followed by a master's degree and a Ph.D. in physics.
In 1978, Ride was selected as one of the first six women to join NASA’s astronaut program. Her rigorous training included parachute jumping, water survival, weightlessness, and navigation. On June 18, 1983, Ride made history as the first American woman to fly in space aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger on mission STS-7. Her presence on the mission marked a significant milestone in space exploration and the advancement of women in the field.
During the mission, Ride operated the shuttle's robotic arm, deploying and retrieving satellites. She flew on a second shuttle mission, STS-41-G, in 1984, further solidifying her place in history as a trailblazer for women in space.
After retiring from NASA in 1987, Ride continued to advocate for science education and the inclusion of women in STEM. She co-authored several books aimed at encouraging children, especially girls, to pursue careers in science and technology. In 2001, she founded Sally Ride Science, an organization dedicated to promoting science education and equity.
Sally Ride passed away on July 23, 2012, but her legacy lives on through her contributions to space exploration and her efforts to inspire future generations.

Ride’s commitment to education and advocacy extended beyond her missions. Through her work with Sally Ride Science, she helped create programs and resources that encouraged young people to explore their interests in STEM fields. Her efforts have had a lasting impact on science education, promoting diversity and inclusion within these critical areas.
Ride’s legacy is celebrated through numerous honors and memorials, including schools, scholarships, and awards named in her honor.
