Judith Resnick, PhD, was an American electrical engineer, software engineer, biomedical engineer, pilot and NASA astronaut who died in the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Resnick’s independence showed early in her life, when at the age of 17 she successfully sued to separate herself from her mother’s custody, largely because her mother did not approve of her dating. Judith eventually married and then divorced her partner because she did not want to have children.

Navigating societal boundaries, she went on to excel as a scientist, engineer, and astronaut. She was deemed by NASA to be the best qualified to be the first Woman in space, but was set aside in favor of Sally Ride because it was felt that Resnick’s life story as a single/divorced woman known for making her own choices might not be well liked by the American public.

Judith broke through the bars of her imprisonment; setting the example for other’s that living your life to the fullest may not be acceptable to those around you—and it is very much worth the consequences.
