Sally Ride’s 1977 letter to NASA fits in a single post:
"To whom it may concern,
I am a PhD candidate in astrophysics at Stanford University, and am interested in the space shuttle program. Please send me the forms necessary to apply as a 'mission specialist' candidate.
Thank you,
Sally Ride”
There’s a Sally Ride special Quarter! The color in this photo looks a bit odd, sorry, it was a picture of the coin that I took on my window sill… I was trying to get the all the details to show up.
