Sally Ride made history in 1983, when she was the first American woman in space. After NASA, Sally Ride became the director of the California Space Institute at the University of California, San Diego, as well as a professor of physics at the school in 1989.

Sally Ride is not only the first American woman in space but she is also the youngest person to ever be sent into orbit.
