Reaction to the death of Sally Ride, who blasted off into space from Cape Canaveral on June 18, 1983.
U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson: "Sally Ride was one of the great pioneers as the first American woman in space. The whole nation was with her when she launched, ?lifting her up on a chorus of ?Ride, Sally, Ride.? ?
Rep. Sandy Adams, R-Orlando: "Very sorry to see the passing of our 1st female astronaut, Sally Ride. A pioneer and inspiration to girls everywhere, she'll be missed."
Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami:??It is with a heavy heart that I learned of the passing of space pioneer Sally K. Ride. As the first American woman in space, Sally inspired a generation of young women to reach for the stars. I remember watching on TV on June 18, 1983 when Sally made history, and many students pursued careers in the sciences because of her. As a member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, it is my mission to continue to advance STEM education and space exploration. I hope that Congress uses Sally?s memory to continue dedicating our country toward the research that was near and dear to her heart.?
Rep. Dennis Ross, R-Lakeland: "RIP Sally Ride. A hero for millions of young women throughout the country and a true American patriot."
