Sally Ride

Biography

In 1977 Sally Ride was finishing her Ph.D. in physics when she saw an ad in the Stanford student newspaper saying that NASA was looking for astronauts—and for the first time was allowing women to apply. Sally sent in her application— along with 8,000 other people. She was one of 35 people—including six women—chosen to join the astronaut corps.

"I would like to be remembered as someone who was not afraid to do what she wanted to do, and as someone who took risks along the way in order to achieve her goals."
