Sally Ride did not go to the moon. She was a crew member on two Challenger space shuttle missions - 1983 and 1984 - which typically are sent to orbit earth for research purposes, or to perform other tasks. During the 1983 mission, for instance, she assisted in launching two communications satellites, and launched and retrieved a third, experimental satellite.

Oh, and by the way, Dr. Ride's middle name is Kirsten, not Christion :)

Sally Ride was the first American woman in space (the third woman as there were two female Soviet cosmonauts prior to her flight). She flew aboard the space shuttle Challenger on the STS-7 flight as a mission specialist, and was in orbit from June 18 to June 24, 1983. She flew a second mission, STS-41G, in 1984, along with a second female astronaut, Kathryn Sullivan.

Ms. Ride was a paid astronaut selected by, and paid by, NASA. By today's standards, as a highly educated physicist in the space program, she would earn about $100,000 per year as an astronaut, but I cannot say what the income level was at the time of her service in the 1980's.
