The Journey of NS-25: American Ed Dwight Makes Historic Spaceflight

The Journey of NS-25: American Ed Dwight Makes Historic Spaceflight

A life-changing journey. Edward Joseph Dwight Jr. (born September 9, 1933) is an American sculptor, author, former United States Air Force test pilot, and astronaut. He is the first African American to have entered the Air Force training program from which NASA selected astronauts. He was controversially not selected to officially join NASA. He finally achieved spaceflight on May 19, 2024, surpassing William Shatner as the oldest person to fly in space. In 2021, NASA named an asteroid after him.
