“NASA sent Sally Ride to space with 100 tampons”
What MediaWise found
NASA didn’t actually send Sally Ride to space with 100 tampons, like the song says. However, according to Ride, NASA did ask if that was the correct number. Since there are some minor historical inaccuracies weaved into the lyrics for comedic purposes, we’ll rate this video as Mostly Legit.
