  2. Sally Ride dies at 61; first American woman in space

    In the early days of the space program, astronauts were ex-Marines, Air Force officers and hot-shot pilots. Sally Ride got there a little differently: She answered a want ad.

  3. Tourist attractions: Remembering the legacy of Sally Ride

    Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, was an inspirational scientist. The institution she founded, Sally Ride Science, continues to organize camps and festivals for aspiring female astronauts.

  5. Neil Armstrong, 1st man on the moon, dies at 82

    CINCINNATI (AP) - Neil Armstrong was a soft-spoken engineer who became a global hero when as a steely-nerved pilot he made "one giant leap for mankind" with a small step onto the moon.

  7. Sally Ride, a modest pioneer

    I was saddened to learn of astronaut Sally Ride's death ("Ride had the cool to break barriers," July 25). Outer space is infinite, but human life is not. Sixty-one seems too young for this pioneer to leave us. I feel fortunate, blessed and privileged...
