When asked who the Mercury 13 were, many will answer that they don’t know. Hopefully, as dedicated supporters of IWASM, you aren’t among them and are helping us share their remarkable stories! The 13 women who completed the same astronaut testing as their male NASA counterparts in 1961 never saw their dream realized…that is until 2021 with Wally Funk’s historic flight.
This exhibit expands the story of women in our global quest for space exploration. It provides a holistic understanding of the experiences, drive, and determination to achieve global enthusiasm for space. Here you will learn about not only the Mercury 13 but groundbreaking women like Katherine Johnson, Mary Golda Ross, and more.
