I was familiar, but only in the sense that most of were. I followed whatever the news people had to say about her, which did delve into her life to some degree. But nothing in detail. I only get prime and Peacock, so I can't view the movie.
Interesting that this came up today. Hannah and I are at Space camp with Road Scholar. Yesterday we met an astronaut Steve Swanson who spent 5 months on the ISS. Very timely review. Sounds interesting!
Had a connection at NASA that got my girlfriend and I passes at, maybe 1 or 3 miles, from the launch site of Ride and crew into space. Girlfriend had repeatedly applied and been rejected for admission into the astronaught program, hoping her background in statistics and medicine would prevail. Despite that, her admiration for Sally Ride was immense. The groundbreaking nature of Ride's achievement wasn't lost on me, but on that day as a recently graduated 23 y/o, I mostly enjoyed the party surrounding the launch. Look forward to seeing the film.
