Sally Kristen
Ride (May 26, 1951 – July 23, 2012) was an American physicist and astronaut.
Born in Los Angeles, Ride joined NASA in 1978 and became the first American
woman in space in 1983. Ride remains the youngest American astronaut to have
travelled to space, having done so at the age of 32. After flying twice on the
space shuttle Challenger, she left NASA in 1987. She worked for two years at
Stanford University's Center for International Security and Arms Control, then
at the University of California, San Diego as a professor of physics, primarily
researching non-linear optics and Thomson scattering. She served on the
committees that investigated the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle
disasters, the only person to participate on both.
