A historic moment: a woman in a wheelchair has flown into space for the first time German engineer Michaela Benthaus has become the first woman with a disability in history to travel to space. She took part in a suborbital flight aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard spacecraft. The flight became a symbol of inclusivity and a new stage in access to space. The launch took place in Texas. The mission lasted about ten minutes, more than three of them in zero gravity. Seven years ago, Benthaus was paralyzed after an accident while mountain biking.
