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.

Sally Ride investigated the explosion of the Challengerin January 28, 1986. 7 crew members were on board and they all got killed. :( One of those members, Christa McAuliffe, was a teacher, not an astronaut. She was chosen to be America's first private citizen in space. Ride was really sad about that, since some other crew members were Judith Resnik, Dick Scobee, Ronald Mcnair, Ellison Onizuka, and Ride entered the program with them, so she decided to investigate it. I hope that helps! :)
