Robert McNees: Sally Ride’s 1977 letter to NASA fits in a single post: "To whom it may concern, I am a PhD candidate in astrophysics at Stanford University, and am interested in the space shuttle program. Please send me the forms necessary to apply as a 'mission specialist' candidate. Thank you, Sally Ride”

Sally Ride became the first US woman in space #OTD in 1983. She was one of three mission specialists aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger for STS-7. At age 32 she was also the youngest US astronaut. 🧪 👩‍🔬 🔭 Image: NASA

Didn't have space for the 🧪 👩‍🔬 🔭 on that last post.

Imagine if she had to deal with today's HR recruiters

There’s a Sally Ride special Quarter! The color in this photo looks a bit odd, sorry, it was a picture of the coin that I took on my window sill… I was trying to get the all the details to show up.

I wonder what she would have thought of her character in 'For All Mankind'.

Haven't seen it!

It's worth getting Apple TV for a month. And there's FOUR seasons! I binged the whole thing :D
