    Women in Space

    NASA began in 1958. It put a man


    on the Moon in 1969. Spacecraft
    like Voyager 1 and 2 discovered
    new places in our solar system and
    the space shuttle flew into space
    and back again.
    In the early days of NASA, space
    was a mans world. But on the 18
    June 1983, Sally Rider was the first
    American woman in space. Sally
    was a doctor of physics and she
    was part of a group of six
    candidates to be the first female
    astronaut. Sally soon got the job
    and went in to space on the
    Challenger space shuttle.
    The Russians sent the first woman
    into space in 1963, but Sally Ride
    was the first for the USA.
    She helped to launch two satellites
    and did scientific experiments oner
    six days.
    After she returned from the
    journey, Sally gave talk across the
    USA.

    In particular, her journey was


    important for women and many
    travelled to listen to her.
    Sally went into space one more
    time in 1984.
    And after her, there were ofter
    women astronauts and other
    first.
    Mae Jemison was a physician and
    became the first African
    American woman in space with the
    space shottle Endeavour in 1992.
    Then, in 1995 Eileen Collins
    became the first female pilot, with
    the space shuttle Discovery. And
    she flew two more times in 1999
    and 2005.
    So as result of Sally Ride, and
    many more female astronauts
    after her, young women as well
    as young men now dream of
    becoming astronauts and a
    journey into space.
