Sally Ride was the first woman to go into space on June 18, 1983 and is seen as one of the great role models for a lot of women then and now. She also helped changed the roles of women in that day and showed that they could do anything and weren’t limited to only a few things. This was a very big event that happened in the 1980s and is one that would be forever remember in the history books.
“Our future lies with today’s kids and tomorrow’s space exploration.”
-Sally Ride
