Here’s what Wally Funk says she’ll be doing to commemorate her spaceflight
Wally Funk, an 82-year-old pilot on board the flight today, said she is taking her camera up in the New Shepard rocket ship and will be taking a photo of a postcard, which shows herself and an American flag with Earth behind her.
Funk said on Blue Origins livestream that young children should get their parents to give them a flight to see if they like it. If they want to continue, “something’s going to be in your heart that’s going to want you to do that.”
The Editor Nigeria will bring you details later…
