Als erste amerikanische Frau im Weltraum schrieb Sally Ride Geschichte. Hinter der scheinbar unerschütterlichen Gelassenheit verbirgt sich ein Geheimnis, das von ihrer Lebensgefährtin Tam O'Shaughnessy enthüllt wird. Denn während ihrer 27 Jahren gemeinsamen Jahre mussten sie viele Opfer bringen und Sally kämpfte nicht nur gegen den offenen Sexismus in der NASA, sondern musste aufgrund der vorherrschenden Homophobie auch ihre homosexuelle Beziehung geheimhalten.

KurzfilmeTranskript
00:00Dr. Wright, a couple of fast, quick questions here, sir, ma'am.
00:05During your training, when there was a problem, how did you respond?
00:09Do you weep?
00:10Why doesn't anybody ask Rick those questions?
00:15When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of flying in space.
00:18As rookies in the astronaut corps, none of us knew what was about to happen to us.
00:24I was concerned I might not be able to keep up.
00:27Sally is back there going, weee!
00:29She loved that it was very challenging to learn.
00:33Therefore, if you learned it, you were hot stuff.
00:36Women astronauts, are you kidding me?
00:38They hadn't paid their dues like we had.
00:41Sally, is there anybody here at NASA who is still unconvinced that women have a place in the space program?
00:47I think there are a few people that are waiting to see how I do.
00:52Let me put it that way.
00:54Main engine start.
00:56And lift off.
00:59We have America's first women astronaut.
01:03Houston, your Latin clarinet.
01:05She was the most famous person on Earth for a while.
01:08It was really hard because she was very private.
01:10Dr. Sally Ride.
01:11Sally Ride.
01:12Sally K. Ride.
01:13Sally risked everything to make history.
01:15But telling the world about us was a risk she just couldn't take.
01:23Who do you tell me who you were, Sally?
01:26I was her life partner for 27 years.
01:30Sally would send these notes to me.
01:32I decided to tackle the problem of red plus green equals yellow.
01:37She actually did the math.
01:39Isn't physics wonderful?
01:40You sure are.
01:41Love the mad physicist.
01:43It's time people realize women in this country can do any job that they want to do.
01:49She proved it.
01:50Done.
01:52If more little girls grew up with an interest in science like we did, the world would be a better place.
02:00Space changed for all time when Sally went up.
02:03I really dreamed of getting a chance to go into space.
02:07And unbelievably, that dream came true.
