Sally Kristen Ride (born May 26, 1951) is an American former astronaut who in 1983 became the first American woman to reach outer space. Sally Ride is the most bravest American woman I have ever heard of. Because I really would not do that, but I think it would be fun and really being an astronaut â¦.
Like most people, Sherr only learned about Rideâs 27 year relationship with her partner, Tam O'Shaughnessy, after the former astronaut died of pancreatic cancer in 2012, aged just 61 years old. 'Sally was very good at keeping secrets,' writes Sherr on her book.
