NASA Spaceflight with one of their own on site to view the Blue Origin New Shepard launch. Launch is scheduled for 3PM SAST.
Wally Funk is by far the most impressive of the 4-person crew hoping to go sub-orbital today.
Mary Wallace “Wally” Funk (born February 1, 1939) is an American aviator and Goodwill Ambassador. She was the first female air safety investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, the first female civilian flight instructor at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and the first female Federal Aviation Agency inspector, as well as one of the so-called Mercury 13.
(The Mercury 13 were thirteen American women who, as part of a privately funded program, successfully underwent the same physiological screening tests as had the astronauts selected by NASA on April 9, 1959, for Project Mercury.)
Funk will become the oldest person in space on Blue Origin’s New Shepard spacecraft during its July 20, 2021 mission.
