Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova was the first woman in space. She spent three days in space in June 1963
Sally Ride made history in 1983, when she was the first American woman in space. After NASA, Sally Ride became the director of the California Space Institute at the University of California, San Diego, as well as a professor of physics at the school in 1989. Sally Ride is not only the first American woman in space but she is also the youngest person to ever be sent into orbit.
Sally Ride is most famous for being the first American woman, and the youngest American, to ever go into space.
No. Although the USSR had two or three high-profile female cosmonauts, the US did not enroll women as astronauts until 1969, and none flew into space until the Space Shuttle program. The first American woman in space was Sally Ride in 1983, some 11 years after the final Apollo mission in 1972.
ANS 2 The first ever dog to go into space was Laika, a Russian stray dog who was trained for space and launched in 1957 aboard Sputnik 2. Unfortunately she died while on the flight.Really, Laika was a dog. I always thought the Laika was a female dog, or bitch.I have to fix my answer.
Sally Kristen Ride (born May 26, 1951) is an American former astronaut who in 1983 became the first American woman to reach outer space. Sally Ride is the most bravest American woman I have ever heard of. Because I really would not do that, but I think it would be fun and really being an astronaut is a hard job. So if you want to be a astronaut, then you need to have the gut's to be one. Ok so Sally Ride is a really importent job so really think about it.
No child has ever been in space.
Yuri Gagarin was the first person to ever go into space
Yes, you have a 12.5% change that it is female.

No human being has ever been to any planet other than Earth. Twelve male astronauts landed on the moon between 1969 and 1972, and all of the other people who have ever been launched into space went nowhere but Earth orbit.
The first human to ever be clearly and unambigously "in space" was Yuri Gagarin.
Enterprise was the first space shuttle built, though it never made it into space.
