Kristen Stewart is set to lead a television show for the first time, playing astronaut Sally Ride in limited series The Challenger.
Ride, who died in 2012, was a physicist who became the first American woman, the youngest American, and the first LGBT+ person to travel to space in 1983. She also helped lead the investigation into the 1986 Challenger disaster, when the space shuttle blew apart 73 seconds after it launched.
