No, it would not be accurate to describe Sally Ride as a fledgling astronaut when she was chosen for STS-7. By that time, she had already undergone extensive training and was a qualified astronaut, having been selected as part of NASA's astronaut class in 1978. Her selection for the mission in 1983 marked her as the first American woman in space, showcasing her experience rather than inexperience.
