@adlerplanet: 26 years ago today, Eileen Collins made history as the first woman to command a space shuttle mission! In 1999, Collins led NASA’s STS-93 mission as Commander—but making history wasn’t new to her. Five years earlier, she became the first woman to pilot a spacecraft during NASA’s STS-63 mission. ✨ Thank you, Colonel Collins, for blazing a trail for future generations of women in STEAM! 🚀 #AdlerPlanetarium #WomenInSTEM #NASA #STEAM #EileenCollins #WomenInAstronomy #Astronomy #SpaceScience #SpaceExploration #Planetarium
