More quotes by Sally Ride
So most astronauts are astronauts for a couple of years before they are assigned to a flight.
Sally Ride
But when I wasn't working, I was usually at a window looking down at Earth.
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
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
You know, I go around the country a lot.
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
I had both male and female heroes.
Sally Ride
Ever been to Disneyland? That was definitely an E ticket!
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
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
When the space shuttle's engines cut off, and you're finally in space, in orbit, weightless... I remember unstrapping from my seat, floating over to the window, and that's when I got my first view of Earth. Just a spectacular view, and a chance to see our planet as a planet.
Sally Ride
The space shuttle is a better and safer rocket than it was before the Challenger accident.
Sally Ride
Even though NASA tries to simulate launch, and we practice in simulators, it's not the same - it's not even close to the same.
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 would like to be remembered as someone who was not afraid to do what she wanted to do, and as someone who took risks along the way in order to achieve her goals.
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
All adventures, especially into new territory, are scary.
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
It takes a few years to prepare for a space mission.
