July is going to see both Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin send passengers to space on suborbital hops, and with a last minute tweak to the schedule its looks like Richard Branson is going to be the first founder to fly on their own spacecraft.
However, Blue Origin announced that one of their passengers is aviation legend Wally Funk who was at one point well positioned to be an astronaut, except that NASA's rules made it impossible for women to qualify.
When she flies she'll be the oldest astronaut at 82 years old, she'll also have more flight experience than anyone currently in space.
