Sally is the first American woman to ride in space.
On June 18, 1983, NASA's astronaut Sally Ride became the first American woman to enter space. It embarked on a Shuttle Challenger, Mission STS-7, with four members of its crew. The ride was selected in 1978 along with five other women to be part of NASA's space program. Currently, with the development of the space shuttle, NASA has expanded its selection of astronauts to scientists and engineers. In addition, women became eligible to vote.

The astronaut's training was particularly rigorous, and he specialized in using the ride shuttle's robotic arm. As a result, on April 30, 1982, NASA announced the ride as a mission specialist to be part of the STS-7 mission. And it was one of the most complex shuttle missions.

It was a six-day mission where officials launched two commercial communications satellites for Canada and Indonesia. The riders also used the robotic arm to adjust the shuttle pallet satellite, which they retrieved two days later. It was the first time that the shuttle was used to return to Earth. As they launched a satellite that flew with them during the mission, there are some great pictures of their challenger spacecraft.

Specifically, the STS-7 was launched on the 20th anniversary of the Soviet astronaut Valentina V. Trishakova, the first woman to enter space. After successfully entering the space of Yuri Gagarin, the Soviet Union's chief designer, Sergey Korlov, decided that he wanted to keep a woman in space. He interviewed more than 400 women candidates, which had very strict conditions for selection. Mainly because there was a need for parachutes on the ground after the Soviet spacecraft re-entered it. Valentina was selected as the best candidate for the job in 1962 and sent to space on Vostok-6 in 1963.

Both Valentina and Rider made their mark on history, two trailblazer women chasing dreams of conquering space. Although NASA and the Russian astronauts have been very friendly since the end of the Cold War, it is unknown what two remarkable women the astronauts ever met.
