Oggi, a #LineaRadioSavona, con GianFunk abbiamo scoperto l'incredibile storia di #Ed #Dwight, il primo candidato astronauta afroamericano negli anni '60, e di come sia potuto andare nello spazio solo ora, con la NS-25 di #blueorigin!
Grazie a tutti gli ascoltatori, buon sabato a tutti! 🙏👋🚀

It took 60 years, but Ed Dwight finally made it into space. The former Air Force pilot was initially passed over, despite support from President Kennedy. On Sunday, at 90, his dream finally came true. https://bit.ly/BNV-National-News #eddwight #space

What an incredible idea from the #EdDwight, the man many believed could have, and should have, been the first Black person in #space:
"Anybody who thinks about running for national office should take at least three orbits around Earth as a prerequisite. They should look down at how valuable it is and how sacred it is and how fragile "
The #OverviewEffect would serve many leaders well, I suspect.
