Sally Ride always loved science and sports. In high school, she thought about becoming a tennis player. Her love of science won out, however. Ride went to college and studied physics, a branch of science. In 1978, Ride saw an ad in a newspaper for an exciting job: astronaut! The
position was at NASA, the United States government agency that runs the country's space program. Eight thousand college students applied. Only
twenty-five were accepted. Sally Ride was one of them. While training at NASA, Ride helped develop a robotic arm to use in space. She
went on her first space shuttle trip on June 18, 1983. She was the first American woman to travel in space. Flying on a rocket was dangerous and difficult. It took courage to fly into space. But when Sally Ride returned to Earth from her six-day shuttle trip, she said, "It was the most fun I'll ever have in my life." Ride left NASA in 1987 to teach science. She later started her own company, Sally Ride Science. She wanted to excite girls and boys about working as scientists. Sally Ride's courage and dedication to science inspired people around the world.
