Wally was one of the 13 women who, despite having passed all of the rigorous testing proving they were physically and mentally qualified for space travel, were denied the chance to become astronauts when the program was canceled. Funk continued to dream of going into space and in July of 2021 achieved her dream by flying onboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket.
Life Support: What the International Space Station Teaches Us About Our Changing Earth Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum 2023-04-12 | When humans explore space, we have to reproduce all the same systems that Earth provides to sustain life—water, air, surface, and biota — in order to survive in the unforgiving environment of space.

Sign up for a reminder: https://s.si.edu/3gpemepThe Orbis Flying Eye Hospital is unlike any plane you’ve seen before. Eye care nonprofit Orbis International began with a big challenge and an even bigger idea: around the world, millions of people lose their sight because they can’t access the care they need, while eye care teams struggle to get training to help them care for patients in their communities. But what if training from the world’s best experts could reach the eye care teams that need it most? Forty years ago Orbis’s iconic Flying Eye Hospital – a fully accredited ophthalmic teaching hospital on board a plane – took its very first flight. Since then, three generations of the Flying Eye Hospital have taken training to eye care teams in over 95 countries around the world. Join a conversation with Orbis’s vice president of clinical services and technologies, Dr. Hunter Cherwek, and director of aircraft operations and maintenance, Bruce Johnson, for an insider’s view into what it’s like to work on one of the world’s most unique aircraft and what’s ahead for this innovative organization and its fight against avoidable blindness.Sponsored by GE Aerospace
