She broke the gender barrier in the American space program .

RIP Sally, hero to so many women in the 80`s

quote:

---

Charles Bolden, NASA Administrator

Sally Ride broke barriers with grace and professionalism — and literally changed the face of America's space program. The nation has lost one of its finest leaders, teachers and explorers. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sally's family and the many she inspired. She will be missed, but her star will always shine brightly.

She's truly admirable. Far more admirable than the society that kept her love hidden:

She deserved better. We all do.
