Last July, the spaceflight company Blue Origin made its first commercial flight, and since then, five more crews of space tourists have taken the flight. NBC News’s Joshua Johnson speaks with former NASA rocket scientist Aisha Bowe, who recently announced her plans to become one of the first Black women aboard a commercial spaceflight.
Correction: An earlier version of this story indicated that Aisha Bowe could be the first Black woman to travel to space aboard a commercial space flight. That distinction belongs to Dr. Sian Proctor of the SpaceX Inspiration4 Mission.
