When was the explosion that Sally ride investigated?
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! :)

Sally Ride did not explore countries. She discovered space. She examined Earth, other planets, and space's other features such as the stars. Dr. Ride may have been an explorer, but not one who explores land.
Zuca says you should not ride them and it voids the warranty if you do. This is why there are no wheels in front , only 2 sets in the back. The point of the second set of wheels is to be able to pull the bad up the stairs. Kind of lame, because everyone wants these bags to be able I ride on them. Maybe they'll rethink the design and add a third set of wheels
