Wally Funk Describes Flight To Space, Oldest Person To Make Journey
She has been waiting a long time to finally get it Up there?Bless her.
That’s some energetic 80 year old woman.
If they were African-American I bet you would say they were well spoken
@Uncle Diggie You’re just showing your own racism, not being clever like you think.
That’s the meds
@James Flynn I was using a cliché. How is what I said racist?
I’m proud and happy for her🤩💓
Hooray!!!! 😎🤓♥️
She has just an infectious enthusiasm. God love her witty, energetic persona!
The need in this world is so great and they need to see space.
That was so awesome!!! CONGRATS!!!
Oh yay, the 1% goes into space, best news ever. 😑
👍
Puts to rest, any age or physical requirements. She’s fit at 82
Wally finally getting to space at age 82 is the best part of this mission ! 🚀
!Salute! to Wally Funk – badass American woman representing all…!
Wholsome
Congratulation to Wally Funk, my favorite 99er.
Good stuff!
Wally should have got her “wings” first, so much for chivalry, or waiting the longest, 60 years to get them; but what would you expect from a born with a platinum spoon in his mouth,18 yr old, all paid for by daddy.. manners?!
God is good he gave you the ability to go somewhere where many wish they could go I hope you enjoyed that site
She’s the only one I’m happy for, because she’s been screwed over. The other guy? Well, he’s one of the ones that _screws_ people over.
Boldly go, Wally…Boldly go.
