Space Center Houston will celebrate Sally’s Night on Saturday, June 21, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., marking the 42nd anniversary of Dr. Sally Ride’s groundbreaking spaceflight aboard NASA’s STS-7 mission.
Ride became the first American woman in space on June 18, 1983, forever changing the course of human spaceflight history.
A Tribute to Inclusion and Discovery
Guests are invited to reflect on Ride’s legacy and her message that “space is for everyone,” honoring her role as both a trailblazing woman and a gender-expansive individual in science. Her mission aboard the space shuttle Challenger remains one of NASA’s most celebrated milestones.
Houston’s ‘BeSomeone’ Artist Joins Celebration
Space Center Houston is partnering with the anonymous BeSomeone artist, known for the iconic graffiti over I-45, to create a live mural inspired by Ride’s message: “Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity.” The artwork will reflect Houston’s vital role in space exploration.
