After the Challenger accident, NASA put in a lot of time to improve the safety of the space shuttle to fix the things that had gone wrong.

But even in elementary school and junior high, I was very interested in space and in the space program.

When you're getting ready to launch into space, you're sitting on a big explosion waiting to happen.

NASA has to approve whatever we wear, so there are clothes to choose from, like space shorts - we wear those a lot - and NASA T-shirts.
Sally Ride

I slept just floating in the middle of the flight deck, the upper deck of the space shuttle.

Then during the mission itself, I used the space shuttle's robot arm to release a satellite into orbit.
Sally Ride

No, I think most astronauts recognize that the space shuttle program is very high-risk, and are prepared for accidents.
Sally Ride

I do a lot of running and hiking, and I also collect stamps - space stamps and Olympics stamps.

The food isn't too bad. It's very different from the food that the astronauts ate in the very early days of the space program.
Sally Ride

It takes a few years to prepare for a space mission.
Sally Ride

Yes, I did feel a special responsibility to be the first American woman in space.
Sally Ride

The space shuttle is a better and safer rocket than it was before the Challenger accident.

On a standard space shuttle crew, two of the astronauts have a test pilot background - the commander and the pilot.

MoMA is doubling its space, and I decided to raise the money for it.
David Rockefeller

I think that the ideal space must contain elements of magic, serenity, sorcery and mystery.
Luis Barragan

Space Mountain may be the oldest ride in the park, but it has the longest line.
Ric Flair

So we want an Islamic state where Islamic law is not just in the books but enforced, and enforced with determination. There is no space and no room for democratic consultation. The Shariah is set and fixed, so why do we need to discuss it anymore? Just implement it!
Abu Bakar Bashir

If you are a writer you locate yourself behind a wall of silence and no matter what you are doing, driving a car or walking or doing housework you can still be writing, because you have that space.
Joyce Carol Oates

I hate it when people slag us off. We had done three tours during 1970 and we finished off feeling we had just about had enough. We had done so much in that short space of time, we were drained.
John Bonham

There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.
John Cage
