The Lady Of Space Travel

She was the first
The first of many
She was the first lady to orbit the earth
She was the youngest person in space
At that time

During school she seeked other ambitions
Tennis was her game
She was one of the best and could compete with the rest
But she had other ideas

She was one of many that applied
She was one of few that were selected
NASA was who she worked for
She first served on the commander shuttle

She was now astronaut
The traveler of space
An alien of the atmosphere
