More quotes by Sally Ride
It takes a few years to prepare for a space mission.
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
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
I slept just floating in the middle of the flight deck, the upper deck of the space shuttle.
Sally Ride
I find myself looking around for other new, interesting opportunities to dive into.
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
On both of my flights, everything went very well.
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
Different astronauts sleep in different ways.
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
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
You know, I go around the country a lot.
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
The astronauts who came in with me in my astronaut class - my class had 29 men and 6 women - those men were all very used to working with women.
Sally Ride
I had both male and female heroes.
Sally Ride
The rockets light! The shuttle leaps off the launch pad in a cloud of steam and a trail of fire.
Sally Ride
So most astronauts are astronauts for a couple of years before they are assigned to a flight.
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.
