SCOTT #5283 SALLY RIDE 50 CENT

Sally Ride received instant fame once it was announced she’d be the first American woman to fly into space.  On June 18, 1983, she launched into space for the first time aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger.  In her career, she spent over 343 hours in space – more than two full weeks in total!

Long before Sally made her mark on space history, she discovered a passion for collecting space stamps.   In 2018, her life and legacy was commemorated on a US stamp.
