Note de episod
Sally Ride became a symbol of possibility on 18 June 1983, when she flew aboard Space Shuttle Challenger as the first American woman in space. But her legacy reaches far beyond that historic mission. Trained as a physicist, Ride worked on NASA missions, investigated the Challenger disaster, and later dedicated her life to science education, determined to open doors for future generations. This episode explores how preparation, intelligence, and quiet resolve reshaped who gets to belong in space.
