Sitting in front of the TV as a child, Wendy Lawrence watched the Apollo moon missions, which sparked her 25-year journey to make it to space. In that journey, Lawrence became a Navy captain, helicopter pilot, and in 1992, was selected by NASA to trek into space. Lawrence said her first mission to space was a dream come true for her.
“The rocket ride was incredible,” Lawrence said. “First view out the window was a pretty emotional moment. For me, in particular, it was 25 years, but I finally did it. I’m up here now. And I’m living my dream.”
