Mercury 13 - The Women of the Mercury Era
|
|
The First Woman in Space - Valentina Tereshkova and Vostok 6...The Russians beat
us on June 16, 1963, although
we had already had a group of women pass the physical and psychological
tests 3 years PRIOR to the Tereshkova flight - the very SAME physical and psychological tests that selected the
original Mercury 7.
These are the Mercury 13 ladies - click on any name for an individual biography.
