She achieved space exploration icon status but was grounded in pursuit of scientific knowledge and had fun on the way.
Her life-size statue stands on the walkway of the Peace Through Strength pavilion on the west side of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library — not far from an F-117 stealth fighter jet, F-14 fighter jet and an Abrams MI tank.
Sally’s last mission at NASA was to serve on the presidential commission investigating the disaster. She had a lot of questions that never got answered. It was time to move on. She left NASA for academia. “It came out sounding like she was saying Bear, so I just kept it and became Bear,” said the Presbyterian minister. “Everyone in the family took it as the last wrong thing Sally ever did.”
“We tend to see her as a trailblazer and hero, and she would reluctantly, after much conversation, perhaps agree to that,” Bear said.“She did it for the love of exploration and for the science she loved,” Bear said. “Plus, she said it was a whole lot of fun.”
