I got a phone call very early in the morning California time. I thought maybe I was dreaming. I had been accepted for the astronaut office. Of course, I was thrilled.

Sally

Very illuminating biography

This documentary is narrated by Tam O&apos;Shaugnessy, who met Sally Ride as teenage tennis players, and ended up being her life partner for Ride&apos;s last 27 years.

Tam played several years of professional tennis, while Sally went to university. Sally managed to get her Ph. D in astrophysics in time for her to be selected as an astronaut candidate for the 1st group NASA recruited to include women and minorities. There is a lot of footage and discussion about her training, etc. Leading to her 1st flight, making her the 1st American woman in space.. Afterwards, the story concentrated on her publicity work, including her refusal to meet with sexist Bob Hope. Her doctorate allowed her to demand being addressed as Sally or Doctor Ride.

Sally had crossed paths with Tam, and, while married to a fellow astronaut, started seeing Tam regularly on the side. After Sally quit NASA for a teaching job in California, Tam reluctantly joined her, and they stayed together for the rest of Sally&apos;s life. Keenly aware of the negative reaction to the coming out of Billy Jean King, Sally kept her private life secret, and it was only when Tam wrote Sally obituary that she was outed.

Some notable people in Sally&apos;s life also appear in this film, like Billy Jean King and some of her fellow astronauts. It is not an exhaustive recitation of Sally&apos;s career, and the omissions may lead to some misleading impressions. However, the main theme is that of the relationship between Sally and Tam, and that comes off very well.
