Fifty years of aiming for the stars…
Does the idea of NASA make you think of men in spacesuits? Think again: women have been part of NASA since July 1958, when Eilene Galloway helped write legislation for the National Aeronautics and Space Act.
Since then, over 45 women have flown in space. Just nine years ago, on STS-93 Columbia, Eileen Collins became the first female Shuttle Commander. Her crew deployed the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, a telescope for the study of exploding stars and black holes. Her historical mission took place in – that’s right – July.
