Yes, I did feel a special responsibility to be the first American woman in space.
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
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
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

We need to make science cool again.
Sally Ride
All adventures, especially into new territory, are scary.
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
I slept just floating in the middle of the flight deck, the upper deck of the space shuttle.
Sally Ride
If it wasn't for the women's movement, I wouldn't be where I am today.
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
The rockets light! The shuttle leaps off the launch pad in a cloud of steam and a trail of fire.
Sally Ride
I find myself looking around for other new, interesting opportunities to dive into.
Sally Ride
It takes a few years to prepare for a space mission.
Sally Ride
So most astronauts getting ready to lift off are excited and very anxious and worried about that explosion - because if something goes wrong in the first seconds of launch, there's not very much you can do.
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
Then during the mission itself, I used the space shuttle's robot arm to release a satellite into orbit.
Sally Ride
On a standard space shuttle crew, two of the astronauts have a test pilot background - the commander and the pilot.
