Discussion

Hello, I am related to Sally Ride and all the dates you have up are WRONG!!! sorry...:-( My name is Karina Love I really am realated!! So anyway I know you can be doing a report about her so just go to google.com and write Sally Ride you know you WILL find the real dates!!!!!

Thank you, A person related to Sally Ride!

Could "A person related to Sally Ride" provide the proper dates and some authentication? It would be immensely useful in updating the article. Crisco 1492 23:49, 5 August 2005 (UTC) I want everyone know that I am crying about this why don't I have it??? I'm so sad and sleepy and very sorry! "Sorry, Sorry!!!!" a person named Lovely said SO....[reply]

The meaning of the last sentence is ambiguous. I'm also not sure if it should be at the end of the article. 137.22.6.186 03:07, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This section needs to be cleaned up at the end of the article: "Ride is the only person to serve on both of the panels investigating Shuttle accidents (those for the Challenger explosion and the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster). Also she became very important to society. Se helped, and inspired many people, and she still does. Today she is mariied and with two kids." <sm. Just click the "edit this page" tab at the top of the page. Thanks. --Tantalum T e lluride 19:54, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Youngest in Orbit?

It is claimed that Sally Ride was the youngest person sent into orbit at 31. However Gherman Titov was just 25 when he flew on Vostok 2 way back in 1961. It is possible she is either the youngest American or youngest woman in orbit (or both), but I am not sure. Anyway for now I will remove that line, someone can restore it if they can find a reliable source to the contray. Teiresias84 00:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NASA bio

Do we really need her NASA bio reproduced verbatim on this page, especially considering their is an external link to it? If no one objects, I'll remove it in a day or two. Teiresias84 04:48, 22 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well I just did it, however I accidently hit enter in the middle of my edit summary - its supposed to read something like 'rvt newbie tests and removed nasa biog'. Teiresias84 12:36, 23 February 2007 (UTC) she is the first american woman to go to space[reply]

Popular Culture

Should there be a section of her in popular culture? shes mentioned in Billy Joel's song 'We Didn't Start the Fire'

Norwegian ancestary

Just added this info to the article.84.48.33.208 (talk) 00:40, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Relevence

Is this passage really relevant?

Her voice, however, was not the first female voice to be transmitted from an American spacecraft; during Skylab, a recording of Helen Garriott — wife of crewmember Owen Garriott — was transmitted down to Mission Control as a prank, pretending that she was actually onboard the spacecraft

Just seems to me like trivia that doesn't have anything to do with Ride's accomplishment. --74.138.214.5 (talk) 19:57, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

can the above-mentioned passage be deleted? I proposed this some time ago and there's been no reply, as you can see. --74.138.214.5 (talk) 23:59, 17 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
