More quotes by 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
The experience of being in space didn't change my perspective of myself or of the planet or of life. I had no spiritual experience.

So most astronauts are astronauts for a couple of years before they are assigned to a flight.
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.

I was always very interested in science, and I knew that for me, science was a better long-term career than tennis.
Sally Ride
For whatever reason, I didn't succumb to the stereotype that science wasn't for girls. I got encouragement from my parents. I never ran into a teacher or a counselor who told me that science was for boys. A lot of my friends did.
Sally Ride
NASA has to approve whatever we wear, so there are clothes to choose from, like space shorts - we wear those a lot - and NASA T-shirts.
Sally Ride
I slept just floating in the middle of the flight deck, the upper deck of the space shuttle.
Sally Ride
Yes, I did feel a special responsibility to be the first American woman in space.
Sally Ride
Once you are assigned to a flight, the whole crew is assigned at the same time, and then that crew trains together for a whole year to prepare for that flight.
Sally Ride
All adventures, especially into new territory, are scary.
Sally Ride
We need to make science cool again.

That's something that is almost part of being human and I'm certain that will continue.
Sally Ride
