Just want Judith Resnik?
Hello! My name is Judy Resnik. When I was a little girl, I loved figuring out how things worked. I was very curious about everything! I liked to look at puzzles and machines. I wanted to see all the little parts that made them go. Learning new things was my favorite game to play.
When I got bigger, I learned so much about science and engineering. I studied hard and became an engineer. An engineer is someone who designs and builds amazing things! One day, I decided I wanted to do something super exciting. I wanted to go to space! So, I worked very hard and became an astronaut.
In the year 1984, I flew on my very first trip into space on a spaceship named Discovery! It was incredible. I floated all around like a superhero. When I looked out the window, I could see our big, beautiful Earth. It looked like a giant blue and white marble hanging in the dark. It was the most amazing sight I had ever seen.
I lived to be 36 years old. People remember me as one of the first women to travel to space, and for my love of science. I hope my story makes you want to look up at the stars and dream about all the wonderful things you can do.
