  • Press Kit—2016
    PRESS KIT—2016 Go For Orbit: One of America’s First Women Astronauts Finds Her Space In a small town in Tennessee, a young girl stood with her father and gazed at the Russian Sputnik in the night sky. She knew that she was witnessing the beginning of a new era for the human race. Would she play a part? That little girl was 10-year-old Rhea Seddon. As years went by, she witnessed humans departing from Earth and walking on the moon. The astronuats were men but she felt that would change. At Berkeley in the tumultuous late 1960s, in medical school and a surgery residency Rhea learned that the world no longer belonged solely to males. When NASA announced a selection of new astronauts for the space shuttle program in 1977, she knew: this was her chance. As one of the first female astronauts in 1978 her quest for space began. But she would do this job her own way, blazing a new path for others to follow. In 1985 she stood on the launch pad, looked up at the rocket that would take her to space and thought, “The fullness of my life has brought me to this moment. All the unlikely roads taken, the risks addressed, the difficulties overcome has led to this. The ride up the clanking rusty elevator which had withstood the blast of Apollo and earlier shuttle flights will be my first upward push today. Across the narrow Orbiter access arm and into the belly of the beast or butterfly the men and I will clamor, brave or feigning bravery, with the bravado of the fighter pilots we are or have come to emulate.
