Kristen Stewart will make her TV series debut as astronaut Sally Ride in The Challenger. The Los Angeles native conducted her space shuttle first mission in 1983 aboard the space shuttle Challenger. Three years later, Challenger exploded shortly after takeoff on a cold morning at Cape Canaveral, Florida on January 28, 1986. The Closer star disclosed that it was Stadler's 'dream of having Kristen Stewart,' in the role of Ride. The obituary written Ride and her longtime companion Tam O'Shaughnessy and release by Sally Ride Science referred to O'Shaughnessy as Ride's 'partner of 27 years.'
