In “The Six: The Untold Stories of America’s First Women Astronauts,” Loren Grush recounts the pressures and challenges faced by NASA’s first class of female astronauts.
As Sally Ride prepared to make history as the first American woman in space, it should have been a moment when science was celebrated. But instead, a reporter asked a question that stunned Ride and her crewmates. “During your training exercises as a member of this group, when there was a problem — when there was a funny glitch or whatever, how did you respond?” he asked.
… So that allowed for, not just women and people of color, but more people with different backgrounds to join the program,” Grush said. Decades later, some questions reporters asked them are shocking to read The 1983 question from a reporter who asked Ride about weeping during training was in keeping with comments from many journalists at the time, and that perspective also echoed in descriptions of The Six in print and broadcast reports.
