Sundance 2025 Review: #Sally – “A remarkable woman who risked almost everything to realize her dream of becoming an astronaut.” Read it here https://bit.ly/4jGwqg4 by @PetDocHill

I never saw this picture of #SallyRide and #KathrynSullivan synchronising their watches before the lift-off of STS-41-G. Christina Koch shared it on her Instagram and I absolutely loved it. It wasn't uploaded to Commons so I did it

#LGBTQ+ People in the #Space Industry
 
…"Although there have been over 600 people in space, there has never been an openly LGBTQ+ #astronaut … it's important for us to examine the industry's historical treatment of LGBTQ+ people, and to think about how we as an industry are going to change going forward"…

I was 13 and I wanted to be an astronaut. Unfortunately that never did come to pass. Miss you, Sally. You were magnificent.

NASA: 40 Years Ago: STS-7 and the Flight of Sally Ride https://www.nasa.gov/feature/40-years-ago-sts-7-and-the-flight-of-sally-ride
>On June 18, 1983, space shuttle Challenger lifted off on its second journey to space, the STS-7 mission. Among its five-person crew, Challenger carried the first American woman into space, NASA astronaut Sally K. Ride.

There's an under-reported detail that I noticed while reading about the late #SallyRide on Wikipedia, on this 40th anniversary of her spaceflight.

Sally seems to has a sister named Bear.

Presumably she was called Bear Ride for some part of her life which is pretty cool.

40 years ago, Sally Ride became the first American woman in space

I'm planning a STEM unit for my 5th graders. Pairs of students are going to launch a payload of mini figs into orbit using seltzer rockets. Appropriate that the figs are famous people involved in space. #nasa #space #MargaretHamilton #NancyGRoman #MaeJemison #SallyRide #STEM
