On May 26 Americans celebrated the birth of Sally Ride, a female astronaut with NASA and the first woman to fly in space.
Born in 1951, in Los Angeles, California, Sally Ride was an esteemed NASA Astronaut. She was a Mission specialist on STS-7, which launched on June 18, 1983, as well as on STS 41-G.
