As a science-loving kid, Sally Ride dreamed of reaching the stars, and this book tells the story of how she made it happen. One day, whilst reading the student newspaper, Sally saw that NASA was looking for astronauts. Women could apply, having never been able to before... so she went for it! Sally was chosen, and in 1983 became the first American woman to fly in space. After hanging up her space suit, Sally, with her partner Tam, founded Sally Ride Science, an organisation that encourages better science education. Sally believed that science should feel exciting and inclusive, and that everyone should be able to reach for the stars!
