Sally Ride?

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. (Eph 5:15-17)

Sally Ride?
Yes! Congrats, Convinced!

Sally Ride, the first American female astronaut, was a strong proponent of science education, especially for girls.
According to Roger Boisjoly, the engineer who warned of the technical problems that led to the Challenger accident, Ride was the only public figure to show support for him when he went public with his pre-disaster warnings (after the entire workforce of Morton-Thiokol shunned him). Sally Ride hugged him publicly to show her support for his efforts.
"She was the president and CEO of Sally Ride Science, a company she co-founded in 2001 that creates entertaining science programs and publications for upper elementary and middle school students, with a particular focus on girls."

Per Wiki, "She is also the first known astronaut to have been in a long-term same-sex relationship." She died July 23, 2012 of pancreatic cancer, after a 17-month struggle.
