A statue of NASA astronaut Sally Ride was installed outside the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, New York, in 2022. Ride, the first American woman in space, is shown holding a Space Shuttle in her right hand and pointing it skywards. She flew on the Space Shuttle Challenger twice, on mission STS-7 in 1983 and STS-41-G in 1984.

The statue, by George Lundeen, Mark Lundeen, and Joey Bainer, is seven feet tall.
