First female to fly solo on a space mission
Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova, seen here on April 5, 2008, at the St. Petersburg leg of the Olympic torch relay, became the first and only woman to have been on a solo space mission when she launched on the Vostok 6 on June 16, 1963.
Loved all of these facts about women! Some news that our younger generation probably doesn’t know!
What’s with all this female stuff? I thought we were supposed to be doing gender natural according to nancy and the dems?
Please add her name to your famous women,
GERALDINE MOCK
A National Aeronautic Association press release, dated April 18, 1964, announced that Geraldine “Jerrie” Mock had just become the first woman to fly solo around the world. Previous attempts by women, including the ill-fated 1937 flight of Amelia Earhart, were unsuccessful. When success did come, it was 27 years later by a woman from Columbus, Ohio, flying a 1953 Cessna 180 single-engine monoplane, the Spirit of Columbus. Mock wrote about her solo world flight in Three Eight Charlie (republished in 2013).
