This week we’re joined by Francis French to talk about Sally Ride as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first American woman to go to space on the STS7 mission. Francis used to work with Sally at Sally Ride Science so as well as being an incredible historian, his first hand stories about Sally are incredible.
