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¦.
However, Ride's place in history was assured on June 18, 1983, when she rocketed into space on Challenger's STS-7 mission with four male crewmates. The fact that I was going to be the first American woman to go into space carried huge expectations along with it, Ride recalled in an interview for the 25th anniversary of her flight in 2008.
