At 90 years old, Ed Dwight is set to become the oldest person to travel to space aboard a Blue Origin rocket. Despite being selected as a potential astronaut in the 1960s, Dwight never realized his dream due to discrimination. Now, decades later, he will finally have the opportunity to experience space. The flight, scheduled to last 11 minutes, will not pose significant health concerns due to its short duration. Dwight’s upcoming spaceflight is seen as a culmination of his remarkable life story, which includes his passion for aviation, art, and overcoming racial barriers in the Air Force.
