Jessica Watkins made history on Wednesday by becoming the first Black woman launched into space for an extended mission on the International Space Station.
Watkins, 33, and three other astronauts rocketed into space from the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida at 3:52 a.m. EDT.
"I think it really is just a tribute to the legacy of the Black women astronauts that have come before me, as well as to the exciting future ahead," Watkins said during an NPR interview.

This is the kind of world 🌎 we’ve made for ourselves and our children, better have no enemies when the light goes out , due to the economic criss, wars and rate of unemployment I think now is the best time to invest and make more money for the future.
The nation should provide solutions asap to a criss , like that happened in Ukraine and Russia! Where are the peace maker’s?
I met Mr Caltons joe for the first time at a conference in manchester i invested £25,000 and traded in one month making close to £143,670
This is the kind of information we don’t get from most youtubers I think 🤔 I will start my trade with Expert Caltons joe
Seen alot of story about him, he must be honest and for people to talk this good about him..
Access to a good information is what the investor needs to progress financially and in life. His a good one and I am grateful.
Geez, this “first” business is pure cringe. Just call her what she is. An astronaut. The virtue signalling is pathetic.
Soooo fragile lol 😂
Space lol utter rubbish yet again
um okay. so why is a person’s skin color relevant in regard to their performance as an astronaut?
👏👏👏 congratulations 👍
