Aisha Bowe reflects on her journey from community college to rocket scientist on all-female space flight

Aisha Bowe, a former NASA rocket scientist and two-time tech company founder, is set to make history as the first person of Bahamian heritage to travel to space when she joins an all-female Blue Origin crew launching on April 14.

Bowe appeared on "CBS Mornings" to discuss her preparation for the historic mission alongside co-host Gayle King, who will also be part of the crew.

"I have been preparing for this moment my entire life," Bowe told King during the interview. "I mean, I started my career thinking I was allergic to math ... And here I'm sitting here, and I'm just like, we are going to space."
