Will an astronaut be left behind when he steps out of his spaceship?

No. The reason why is, the astronaut and the spaceship are traveling at the same speed. The astronaut would have to careful though! Because, if the astronaut pushed away slightly from the spaceship as the astronaut stepped out, the astronaut would drift away from the spaceship and would continue to drift across space forever, provided the astronaut didn't bump into anything out there or get sucked in by the gravity field of a planet or a star. That's why when they do an EAV (Extravehicular Activity) they have to either be tethered to the spacecraft or have a MMU (Manned Maneuvering Unit). The MMU is kinda like a jet pack of sorts, it lets the astronaut fly around the spaceship with compressed jets of air.

Where did Sally Ride worked?

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.
