More quotes by Sally Ride
I find myself looking around for other new, interesting opportunities to dive into.
Sally Ride
I didn't really decide that I wanted to be an astronaut for sure until the end of college.
Sally Ride
For quite some time, women at NASA only had scientific backgrounds.
Sally Ride
Ever been to Disneyland? That was definitely an E ticket!
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 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
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
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
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
The fact that I was going to be the first American woman to go into space carried huge expectations along with it.
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 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
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
Weightless is a great equalizer.
Sally Ride
After the Challenger accident, NASA put in a lot of time to improve the safety of the space shuttle to fix the things that had gone wrong.
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.
Sally Ride
You know, I go around the country a lot.
Sally Ride
We need to make science cool again.
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
