| Pride Month might be wrapped but Sally is forever. I really enjoyed the documentary on the astronaut Sally Ride featuring Dr. Tam O'Shaughness, Sally's partner of 27 years and the film's executive producer. As our country's first woman in space, Sally was passionate about continuing to diversify STEM careers. Interested in honoring her legacy? Take a kid to The Moonshot Museum. — Kyrie Bushaw, Communications Coordinator |
