- Sally Ride
- Sally K. Ride, NASA Johnson Space Center Oral History Project, interviewed by Rebecca Wright (assisted by Sandra Johnson and Jennifer Ross-Nazzal), San Diego/San Antonio, 22 Oct 2002 and 6 Dec 2002 -- self-testimony, opened and read in full via Internet Archive Wayback Machine capture (the JSC History Portal's original hosting was decommissioned and now 301-redirects; content verified as the genuine archived NASA oral-history transcript, not a reconstruction). Covers her account of answering the 1977 Stanford student-newspaper NASA recruitment ad, astronaut training/mission conduct, the STS-7 personal-hygiene-kit planning exchange, her departure from Space.com to found Imaginary Lines/Sally Ride Science, and her NASA Headquarters strategic-planning role.
- Kathryn D. Sullivan (NASA astronaut, STS-41-G crewmate of Ride), NASA Johnson Space Center Oral History Project, interviewed by Jennifer Ross-Nazzal / Rebecca Wright, 11 Sep 2007 and 12 Mar 2008 -- independent, non-self, named-colleague account, downloaded directly from nasa.gov and read in full via pdftotext extraction. Describes specific, concrete incidents: Ride functioning as a 'continuity link' and 'stable point' for rookie crewmates (including Sullivan) during STS-41-G training, being 'indispensable' helping crewmates learn simulator/hardware interfaces, being 'already a skilled RMS operator' by her second flight, and chairing NASA's internal 1987 'Ride Report' (Leadership and America's Future in Space) where she 'sounded a much stronger note' on an Earth-science strategic emphasis that 'paid some real dividends.' Independent of Ride's own testimony.
