Not long ago,few little girls imagined they could grow up to become astro?nauts. For years in the United States,only men had that opportunity. In 1983,that changed. Sally Ride made history by becoming the first American woman to travel to space.
On Monday,Ride died at the age of 61. "Sally was a national hero and a powerful role model," President Barack Obama said in a statement. "She in?spired generations of young girls to reach for the stars."
Ride became interested in space when she was a kid. "If you asked me when I was 12 whether I wanted to be an astronaut,I'm sure I would have said yes”， she said in a 2010 interview. "But I didn't even think about that as a possible career."
After studying physics in college and graduate school,Ride got her chance. She was accepted into NASA's astronaut training programme in 1978,and then chosen to be the first American female in space. In 1983,she blasted into space aboard the Challenger shuttle. "There is no amusement park ride on the Earth that even comes so close," she said.
Ride returned to space on the Challenger a second time in 1984. Between the two missions,she spent a total of 343 hours in orbit. After that,she re?mained involved with the space programme and also worked to share her pas?sion for science with kids. She coauthored six science books for children,and started her own science education company.
Ride knew that she held a unique place in history. "I realized how impor?tant it was for a woman to break that barrier and open the door for other women to be able to do the same exciting things that men had been doing," she said.
Since Ride's historic trip,more than 40 other American women have travelled to space. They all had Ride to thank for opening the door to the final frontier.
