Sally Ride
(1951–2012) American physicist and astronaut
Scholastic interview (1998)
Context: When you're getting ready to launch into space, you're sitting on a big explosion waiting to happen. By sally ride. So most astronauts getting ready to lift off are excited and very anxious and worried about that explosion — because if something goes wrong in the first seconds of launch, there's not very much you can do.
“So I am just sitting and waiting, listening, and if something exciting comes, I just jump in.”
