At 32, Sally Ride became both the youngest American astronaut and the first American female astronaut in space. Join us to hear more about this remarkable life.

In a space agency filled with trailblazers, Sally Ride was a pioneer of a different sort. The soft-spoken California physicist broke the gender barrier on June 18, 1983, when she became the first American woman in space.
