She did not actually reach space.In August 2007, Christa's back-up, made it into space as an 'educator astronaut' (although NASA apparently avoided calling her a 'teacher in space', as she had to give up her role as teacher on becoming an astronaut) on board STS-118, which launched on August 8, 2007.
Who was the first teacher to fly on a space shuttle?
Christa Mcauliffe, who did not survive the trip- killed when the Challenger exploded on the way up. She was the first American woman to lose her life in a spacecraft accident- which strictly speaking, did not happen in space- but inside the atmosphere. There were two females also on the Columbia crew- another All-Hands fatal incident, which broke up on re-entry. Mrs. Mcauliffe was a social studies teacher- apart from NASA- not a Biologist which might have been a better choice.

Onasuka, McAuliffe, Smith, Jarvis, Resnick, Scobee, McNair
Did Sally Ride get lost in space?
No, she is very much alive. Sadly, several female astronauts ( US) have died as the result of space accidents in the Shuttle program. There were two females on the Challenger spacecraft ( exploded on the way up) Christa Mcauliffe ( the so-called Teacher in space- she taught sociology, by the way) and a female astronaut named Resnik. There were two female casualties ( on the descent side- as the craft broke up on re-entry) in the Columbia spacecraft tragedy. one was Hindu, the other a Black woman who was a Flight Surgeon from the Navy. So that's the story of Lost female astronauts- fatally so.
