Following her career with Nasa, Dr Ride joined the faculty at the University of California, San Diego and also authored several books as well as setting up Sally Ride Science, a company aimed at teaching young people about science, maths and technology. ‘Sally lived her life to the fullest, with boundless energy, curiosity, intelligence, passion, commitment and love. Her integrity was absolute; her spirit was immeasurable; her approach to life was fearless,’ read a statement on the website of Sally Ride Science. She was described as a ‘national hero and a powerful role model’ by president Barack Obama. Nasa administrator Charles Bolden, stated: ‘The nation has lost one of its finest leaders, teachers and explorers. ‘Our thoughts and prayers are with Sally’s family and the many she inspired. She will be missed, but her star will always shine brightly.’ Dr Ride leaves behind her partner of 27 years Tam O’Shaughnessy, her mother and her sister.
