More quotes by 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 find myself looking around for other new, interesting opportunities to dive into.
Sally Ride
But when I wasn't working, I was usually at a window looking down at Earth.
Sally Ride
The space shuttle is a better and safer rocket than it was before the Challenger accident.
Sally Ride
I slept just floating in the middle of the flight deck, the upper deck of the space shuttle.
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
I think eventually private enterprise will be able to send people into orbit, but I suspect initially it's going to have to be with NASA's help.
Sally Ride

Sally Ride
There are lots of opportunities out there for women to work in these fields, ... Girls just need support, encouragement and mentoring to follow through with the sciences.
Sally Ride
It takes a few years to prepare for a space mission.
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
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
You know, I go around the country a lot.
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
Then during the mission itself, I used the space shuttle's robot arm to release a satellite into orbit.
Sally Ride
Weightless is a great equalizer.
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
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
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
But even in elementary school and junior high, I was very interested in space and in the space program.
