40th Anniversary of the first American Woman in Space
All summer, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is commemorating the 40th anniversary of Sally Ride's first spaceflight, which made her the first American woman in space in 1983. During the Celebration of Women in Space, we honor the achievements of these pioneering women who have shattered barriers and opened doors for future generations.
Join us for exciting and unique opportunities to engage directly with these trailblazers. This commemorative celebration serves as a powerful reminder of the limitless potential and indomitable spirit of women, inspiring future generations to aspire to reach for the stars.
