Abstract
In this presentation, Dr. Ride discusses her rise through the NASA program as well as her efforts to overcome the image of space flight as being a male-dominated field. In her nine years with NASA, Dr. Ride worked in mission control on two shuttle missions, flew on the space shuttle Challenger twice, and headed a study of NASA's mission options and future. Throughout her career, Dr. Ride has continuously displayed the leadership and determination it takes to succeed.This powerful presentation shows what it takes to truly have "the right stuff."
