She remains the youngest American astronaut to have traveled to space, having done so at the age of 32. After flying twice on the Orbiter Challenger, she left NASA in 1987. She worked for two years at Stanford University's Center for International Security and Arms Control, then at the University of California, San Diego as a professor of physics, primarily researching nonlinear optics and Thomson scattering. She served on the committees that investigated the Challenger and Columbia space shuttle disasters, the only person to participate on both. Ride died of pancreatic cancer on July 23, 2012.

  • Sally Ride était une astronaute de la NASA qui a participé à la mission STS-41G à bord de Challenger (OV-099) avec Robert Crippen, Marc Garneau du Canada, David Leestma, Jon McBride, Paul D. Scully-Power et Kathryn Dwyer Sullivan en 1984. (Réalité extrapolée *) Le nom de "Ride" figurait sur un insigne de mission affiché au bar de Bozeman en 2063. ("Star Trek: First Contact")
  • Sally Ride (1951-2012) was a physicist and astronaut for NASA. As a member of the STS-7 crew of Space Shuttle Challenger in June 1983, she became the first American woman to go into outer space. Prior to her flight in space, Ride served as CAPCOM for the second and third Columbia missions, a role designated as the sole point of communication between a space-faring crew and mission control on the ground. In this capacity, she consulted on a series of morning wake-up calls for STS-2 featuring original material with the cast of Pigs in Space. The process of working on the scripts to fine-tune details allowed her to forge a friendship with writers Jerry and Susan Juhl. Following mission success, the relationship garnered the Juhls an invitation to Ride's launch on Challenger.
  • Sally Ride was an American astronaut in NASA's Space Shuttle program. She was a crewmember on STS-41G. In 2063, the assignment patch for this mission was on display in the Crash-n-Burn Bar. This patch bore the astronaut's last name. (Star Trek: First Contact)
