More quotes by Sally Ride
We need to make science cool again.
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
For quite some time, women at NASA only had scientific backgrounds.
Sally Ride
If it wasn't for the women's movement, I wouldn't be where I am today.
Sally Ride
The pressure suit helps if something goes wrong during launch or re-entry - astronauts have a way to parachute off the shuttle. The suits protect you from loss of pressure in case of emergency.
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
I can't remember a single time [my parents] ever told me not to do something I wanted to do.
Sally Ride
Different astronauts sleep in different ways.
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
Rocket science is tough, and rockets have a way of failing.
Sally Ride
So most astronauts are astronauts for a couple of years before they are assigned to a flight.
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
Weightless is a great equalizer.
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
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 did not come to NASA to make history.
Sally Ride
It takes a few years to prepare for a space mission.
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
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
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
