More quotes by Sally Ride
Rocket science is tough, and rockets have a way of failing.
Sally Ride
That's something that is almost part of being human and I'm certain that will continue.
Sally Ride
The best advice I can give anybody is to try to understand who you are and what you want to do, and don't be afraid to go down that road and do whatever it takes and work as hard as you have to work to achieve that.
Sally Ride
Different astronauts sleep in different ways.
Sally Ride
The rockets light! The shuttle leaps off the launch pad in a cloud of steam and a trail of fire.
Sally Ride
Ever been to Disneyland? That was definitely an E ticket!
Sally Ride
The space shuttle is a better and safer rocket than it was before the Challenger accident.
Sally Ride
I suggest taking the high road and have a little sence of humour and let things roll off your back. I think that's very important.
Sally Ride
My background is in physics, so I was the mission specialist, who is sort of like the flight engineer on an airplane.
Sally Ride
It was a real honor for me to get to be the first woman astronaut. I think it's really important that young girls that are growing up today can see that women can be astronauts too. There have actually been a lot of women, who are astronauts, that that's a career that's open to them.
Sally Ride
I didn't really decide that I wanted to be an astronaut for sure until the end of college.
Sally Ride
I did not come to NASA to make history.
Sally Ride
Science is fun. Science is curiosity. We all have natural curiosity. Science is a process of investigating. It's posing questions and coming up with a method. It's delving in.
Sally Ride
But even in elementary school and junior high, I was very interested in space and in the space program.
Sally Ride
I can't remember a single time [my parents] ever told me not to do something I wanted to do.
Sally Ride
I was always very interested in science, and I knew that for me, science was a better long-term career than tennis.
Sally Ride
If they asked me if I wanted to go into space tomorrow, I'd do it in a heartbeat. On the other hand, if they asked me if I wanted to go into training for three years and then go into space again, I'd probably say no.
Sally Ride
We need to make science cool again.
Sally Ride
I think maybe it's too bad that our society isn't further along and this is such a big deal. I think it's time...that people realize that women in this country can do any job they want to do.
Sally Ride
It's easy to sleep floating around - it's very comfortable. But you have to be careful that you don't float into somebody or something!
Sally Ride
