From Shawna Pandaya, who is slated to fly with Virgin Galactic, via Instagram: Remember those movies growing up where you saw an array of women space explorers leading the way? This is it. It's here in 2025. And no matter who's trying to cover it up, tear it down, hide it away... it's already here. And it's not going away.  |
