Famous Scientist Sally Ride Sally Ride was born on May 26,1951 and died on July 23,2012.She was born in Los Angeles.She also grew up in Los Angeles.She invented the space shuttle’s ‘’Canadarm’’ robot arm.She also worked as a volunteer at the woman’s correctional facility. Sally is Famous for being the first American woman in space.If Sally did not go to space or be the first woman to go to space many women would not have the confidence or courage like they do today.I would have been friends with her because if I could explain her in 2 words it would be ‘’girl power.’’It would also be fun to go through space school with a friend.Sally is my favorite scientist.
