Summary
This one hour documentary profiles the life and experiences of Dr. Sally Ride, the first American woman to fly in space aboard the Space Shuttle STS-7 in June 1983. We take a look at Dr. Ride's arduous and difficult training for over six years before her first flight. We explore her thoughts and feelings during the two missions she flew before retiring form NASA and her views on the future of women in the space program. Dr. Ride was extensively interviewed in her office at the University of California at San Diego, along with several of her colleagues in the space program, NASA officials in charge of hiring her and many others who helped shape her life and career. Footage and photographs never before seen of Dr. Ride in her early years and experiences in the space program are also included
