Due to prejudice, there didn't used to be any (even though in America in the early 1960s, several women qualified for the space program, but were refused admission). But in 2014, there are about fifty women from a number of countries who have been in space. The first was a Russian woman, Valentina Tereshkova, in 1963. The first American was Sally Ride, in 1983. The first African-American woman astronaut was Mae Jemison, in 1992. And the first Indian-American was Kalpana Chawla in 1997.

How is space explored?

Space is explored through a variety of methods, including robotic missions, telescopes, and human spaceflights. Robotic missions, such as satellites and rovers, conduct experiments and collect data on distant planets and stars. Telescopes, both on Earth and in space, allow scientists to observe celestial objects from afar. Human spaceflights, like those conducted by astronauts, allow for hands-on research and exploration in space.
