I went into space 2 times in my life.

On my 2nd flight I got to use a robotic arm. A robotic arm is something I can direct it to do some work on the space shuttle if something happens. 10

I believe in women's leadership. I started Sally Ride Science which inspired girls to get involved in science. the medal of freedom. 11

President Obama said, "She was an American Treasure. Thanks to Sally's work throughout her lifetime, young women and girls, can now aspire to fly in space." My partner Tam accepted the award on my behalf. In 2013 12

I died in 2012 of cancer and here is what I think "I never went into physics or the astronaut corps to be a role model. But after my flight it was clear that I was one . . . You can't be what you can't see." 13
