Stone said that the best thing about space for her was the "silence" which she said that she could get used to. While on her first space shuttle mission aboard the Space Shuttle Explorer, she was accompanied by a veteran astronaut named Matt Kowalski who was commanding his final expedition. Stone trained and was offered to install the device and spend a week in space. Stone really was indifferent to going into outer space and said that she only was enthusiastic because NASA did not cut the funding to her research. Stone wounded up getting the opportunity of a lifetime after inventing a scanning device which was approved by NASA to be used on the Hubble Space Telescope. However, she seemed to believe in something more after the events of the film, having prayed for the first time. Prior to the events of the film, Stone was most likely a secular humanist who wanted to believe in a higher power for the sake of her daughter. Stone became withdrawn and decided eventually that she wanted to die and be with her daughter. Stone fell into a deep depression which left her guilt-ridden and angry at the world. Ryan was devastated by this and spent her evenings after work taking long drives listening to NPR which was the station that was playing when she first heard the news about her daughter’s death in an attempt to push away from accepting it. One day when she was driving home from work and listening to the radio, she got a call that informed her that her 4-year-old daughter slipped and fell at the playground, getting a head injury which killed her. She mentioned that she was not married (Possibly divorced), but had a daughter. Stone was a 32 year-old medical engineer who worked at a hospital in Lake Zurich, Illinois, USA where she specialized in x-ray imaging in medical devices.
