A West Virginia native is set to become the first woman from her home state to travel into space as a citizen astronaut ambassador aboard a Blue Origin flight.
"I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to fly with Blue Origin," Calandrelli said in a statement. "I look forward to representing my home state in this way and show the world what kids from Appalachia can do, what women can do and what mothers can do. Country roads, take me to space!" "It's about the countless others she will be bringing along with her." Peter Burke is a lifestyle editor with Fox News Digital.
In an Instagram post sharing the news, Calandrelli called space travel her "dream."
