NASA: "Ride broke barriers ... and literally changed the face of America's space program"
(CNN) -- Sally Ride, the first American woman to fly in space, died Monday after a 17-month battle with pancreatic cancer, her company said on its website. She was 61.

"Sally lived her life to the fullest, with boundless energy, curiosity, intelligence, passion, commitment, and love. Her integrity was absolute; her spirit was immeasurable; her approach to life was fearless," read a statement on the Sally Ride Science website.
Ride rode to orbit aboard the space shuttle Challenger almost 30 years ago to become America's first woman in space.
She is survived by her partner of 27 years, Tam O'Shaughnessy, her mother, her sister, and other family members.

"Sally Ride broke barriers with grace and professionalism -- and literally changed the face of America's space program," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden. "The nation has lost one of its finest leaders, teachers and explorers. Our thoughts and prayers are with Sally's family and the many she inspired. She will be missed, but her star will always shine brightly."

Sally Field was in Coal Miners Daughter with OJ Simpson and Ned Beaty.

I think you're mixed up; Carrie Fischer was the lead in Carrie, Sally Field played Princess Leia in the SW trilogy, and Sissy Spacek played Lieutenant Frank Drebin.

Maybe she didn't have enough thrust in the system.

Drebin was played by Brigitte Nielsen, you twit. Spacek was Batman after Buster Keaton and before Rosemary Clooney.
