Ed Dwight - Dreams coming true at age 90

You're never too old to achieve your dreams!

Edward J. Dwight Jr. almost had a chance to go to space become the United States' first Black astronaut. Unfortunately, this didn't happen at the time.

Now, Dwight finally has the opportunity to go to space in June on a Blue Origin rocket thanks to the nonprofit organization, Space for Humanity. This will make him the older person ever to visit space.
