5.Sally Kristen Ride, Ph.D., who was born in California, stands
in history as a pioneer in space exploration and academia, and
serves as a role model for others, by virtue of having been
the first American woman and the youngest person to go into
space when she traveled aboard the Challenger spacecraft on
June 18, 1983.
6.California will continue to lead in aerospace education,
through its superb science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics education programs and at its world-class research
universities, and thus will continue to lead the world with
the innovation that enabled advanced meteorological
forecasting, the Global Positioning System, NextGen tools for
air traffic management, green aviation, sophisticated wind
tunnels and test facilities, and advanced supercomputing and
robotics.
This resolution recognizes the contributions of the aerospace
industry to the history, economy, security, and educational
