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.

More quotes by Sally Ride
But even in elementary school and junior high, I was very interested in space and in the space program.
Sally Ride
I find myself looking around for other new, interesting opportunities to dive into.
Sally Ride
Ever been to Disneyland? That was definitely an E ticket!
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
I was always very interested in science, and I knew that for me, science was a better long-term career than tennis.
Sally Ride
But when I wasn't working, I was usually at a window looking down at Earth.
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
I didn't really decide that I wanted to be an astronaut for sure until the end of college.
Sally Ride
I had both male and female heroes.
Sally Ride
I can't remember a single time [my parents] ever told me not to do something I wanted to do.
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
We need to make science cool again.
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
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 fact that I was going to be the first American woman to go into space carried huge expectations along with it.
Sally Ride
That's something that is almost part of being human and I'm certain that will continue.
Sally Ride
Yes, I did feel a special responsibility to be the first American woman in space.
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
The rockets light! The shuttle leaps off the launch pad in a cloud of steam and a trail of fire.
Sally Ride
