Shuttle Quotations
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.
Sally Ride
The pressure suit helps if something goes wrong during launch or re-entry - astronauts have a way to parachute off the shuttle. The suits protect you from loss of pressure in case of emergency.
Sally Ride
Then during the mission itself, I used the space shuttle's robot arm to release a satellite into orbit.
Sally Ride
I slept just floating in the middle of the flight deck, the upper deck of the space shuttle.
Sally Ride
No, I think most astronauts recognize that the space shuttle program is very high-risk, and are prepared for accidents.
Sally Ride
Every shuttle mission's been successful.
Christa McAuliffe
The space shuttle is a better and safer rocket than it was before the Challenger accident.
Sally Ride
On a standard space shuttle crew, two of the astronauts have a test pilot background - the commander and the pilot.
Sally Ride
Well, we spend an awful lot of our time working and doing experiments. It's very busy up on the shuttle.
Sally Ride
My job in space will be to observe and write a journal. I am also going to be teaching a class for students on earth about life in space and on the space shuttle and conducting experiments.
Christa McAuliffe
