Sister of pilot aboard SpaceX’s first all-civilian mission into orbit says this has been a lifelong dream for her - WJW FOX 8 News Cleveland

LAKE COUNTY, Ohio (WJW) – It’s a short rocket ride that ended a long road to space.

It’s the first space flight featuring a crew of private citizens and the first space flight to raise money for charity.

She told FOX 8 via ZOOM that her sister has always loved science and space, two things that Robyn says came from their father.

Robyn says the mission crew is also hoping their trip into space will serve as an inspiration to others that space travel is for anyone

“The future of space travel and what it means for women, especially for minority women, and my sister is only the fourth African American woman to go into space, and to be the pilot of the rocket and there are so many inspirational messages that will come out of this,” she said
