Godspeed and God bless Wally! Can’t wait to see you fulfill that beautiful dream! We’ll all be in that cockpit with you!

Carl Philip:

shees such a heartwarming person

Waker of Winds:

I was a bit annoyed when I heard someone had bid so much for this seat. However, I think this is one of the best people it could've gone to.

edit: she's not the person who won the bid - but I'm still super happy she's flying on this. Now we just need to get her on Dragon!

picknikbasket:

Amazing woman, amazing gift!

WheresWally:

Awesome Wally. From one Wally to another, you go girl.

Tim Franta:

I could not be happier for Wally! I used a powerful clip of her saying "We could have done it, if they just let us," for the Nichelle Nichols' documentary about the recruitment of the first women and minority astronauts. She appears about 44 seconds into the clip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ir8YhnEjab4 That recruitment would not have been necessary if they had let her fly. Thanks to Jeff Bezos for correcting this error in history.

Candy Gleason:

As an Alum of Stephens College I am thrilled that Wally finally gets to live her dream! And at 82!!! Fabulous!

Arnaud MEURET:

This is the greatest PR stunt that the space race has ever created ! 🥰

seasong:

I hope you put on altitude in meters this time, so we actually know if you passed the 100km line. It's not that hard to convert. One of your software guys could add it in 5 minutes.
