Sally Kristen Ride (May 26, 1951 – July 23, 2012) was an American astronaut and physicist. She pioneered the way for American women in space and still does today, twenty-two years after she passed.

Born in Los Angeles, she joined NASA in 1978, and in 1983 became the first American woman and the third woman to fly in space, after cosmonauts Valentina Tereshkova in 1963 and Svetlana Savitskaya in 1982.

NASA was still adjusting to female astronauts, and engineers had asked Ride to assist them in developing a "space makeup kit", assuming it would be something a woman would want on board.

They also infamously suggested providing Ride with a supply of 100 tampons for the six-day mission

"Everywhere I go I meet girls and boys who want to be astronauts and explore space, or they love the ocean and want to be oceanographers, or they love animals and want to be zoologists, or they love designing things and want to be engineers. I want to see those same stars in their eyes in 10 years and know they are on their way." -Sally Ride

On July 1, 1989, Ride became a professor of physics at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and director of the California Space Institute (Cal Space), part of the university's Scripps Institution of OceanographyRide and O'Shaughnessy, along with three colleagues, founded Sally Ride Science in 2001 as a science education company. When Ride died after a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer, O’Shaughnessy wrote Ride’s obituary for the company’s website.

The obituary said Ride was survived by “Tam O’Shaughnessy, her partner of 27 years,” revealing their relationship to the public for the first time. Ride had ensured that O'Shaughnessy would inherit her estate when she drew up her will in 1992. They registered their domestic partnership on August 15, 2011.

Meet Sophie Adenot, one of the new ESA career Astronauts. Born in 1982 in France, she seems to have done everything right to get in this position. After studying spacecraft dynamics in France, she did a master of science at MIT specifically on centrifuge training for astronauts.

Right after she joined the France Air Force to become a helicopter pilot. In this role she worked as search and rescue pilot, formation flight leader, team captain and as experimental test pilot.

Sophie has received multiple distinctions for her work as young leader and her outreach for gender equality.

Can't wait to see her float in Space!

July 17, 1962: First Lady Astronaut Trainees Jerrie Cobb (left) and Jane Hart (right) testify before a special Subcommittee of the House Committee on Science and Astronautics for the inclusion of women in the manned space program. 

The First Lady Astronaut Trainees (FLATs), also known as the Mercury 13, was a privately-funded project that evaluated the fitness of women pilots for astronaut candidacy in the early 1960s. Despite public support, the group was not accepted by NASA but would influence the agency’s inclusion of women astronauts beginning in 1978.

Mae Jemison by Allison Adams

"Never limit yourself because of others' limited imagination; never limit others because of your own limited imagination."

Mae Jemison (1956–) is the first African-American female astronaut. In 1992, she flew into space aboard the Endeavour, becoming the first African-American woman in space.

Judith Resnik was born on April 5, 1949. An American electrical engineer, software engineer, biomedical engineer, pilot and NASA astronaut who died in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger during the launch of mission STS-51-L. Resnik was the fourth woman, the second American woman, and the first Jewish woman of any nationality to fly in space, logging 145 hours in orbit.

In honour of Black (American) History Month, we turn our gaze towards the stars by featuring two incredible women of colour in NASA. Katherine Johnson NASA Mathematician Katherine Johnson (née Coleman; August 26, 1918 – February 24, 2020) was an American mathematician whose calculations of orbital mechanics as a NASA employee were critical to the success of the first and subsequent U.S. crewed spaceflights. During her 33-year career at NASA and its predecessor, she earned a reputation for mastering complex manual calculations and helped pioneer the use of computers to perform the tasks. The space agency noted her "historical role as one of the first African-American women to work as a NASA scientist". Johnson's work included calculating trajectories, launch windows, and emergency return paths for Project Mercury spaceflights, including those for astronauts Alan Shepard, the first American in space, and John Glenn, the first American in orbit, and rendezvous paths for the Apollo Lunar Module and command module on flights to the Moon. Her calculations were also essential to the beginning of the Space Shuttle program, and she worked on plans for a mission to Mars. She was known as a "human computer" for her tremendous mathematical capability and ability to work with space trajectories with such little technology and recognition at the time. In 2015, President Barack Obama awarded Johnson the Presidential Medal of Freedom. In 2019, Johnson was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal by the United States Congress. In 2021, she was inducted posthumously into the National Women's Hall of Fame. The movie "Hidden Figures" is based on her life and work. Mae Carol Jemison NASA Astronaut Mae Carol Jemison (born October 17, 1956) is an American engineer, physician, and former NASA astronaut. She became the first black woman to travel into space when she served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Jemison joined NASA's astronaut corps in 1987 and was selected to serve for the STS-47 mission, during which she orbited the Earth for nearly eight days on September 12–20, 1992. Born in Alabama and raised in Chicago, Jemison graduated from Stanford University with degrees in chemical engineering as well as African and African-American studies. She then earned her medical degree from Cornell University. Jemison was a doctor for the Peace Corps in Liberia and Sierra Leone from 1983 until 1985 and worked as a general practitioner. In pursuit of becoming an astronaut, she applied to NASA. Jemison left NASA in 1993 and founded a technology research company. She later formed a non-profit educational foundation and through the foundation is the principal of the 100 Year Starship project funded by DARPA. Jemison also wrote several books for children and appeared on television several times. #technology #work #career #project #university #engineer #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #blackamericans #nasa #womeninstem #womenofcolor

Dream job: Either astrophysicist or astronaut and I'm giving my all to achieve it, I don't know why but I have the gut feeling that I'm each time closer to making it 💛

Wearing: New clothes because it's new year 😂 so happy new year everyone 💛

A book/movie that summarises you: Interstellar and Steins Gate

Favourite song: It changes from time to time 😂 but I suppose Nagareboshi by Home Made Kazoku is still my number one, no other song inspires me like this one 💛

Aesthetic: STEM-core, is that a thing?

Favourite author: Too many to choose!

Random fact: My lucid dreams have gotten to a new level :0 and I'm starting the new year feeling oddly invigorated, I don't know why but it's a good feeling 💛 (it may be partly because this RC update favoured me a lot, among other things 😂)
