Wally Funk dies at 87 in Grapevine, Texas, city officials say and Mona Quintanilla confirms the death.Funk was the only woman in the Mercury 13 program to pass all astronaut-selection tests, but NASA chose only men for its early astronaut corps and she spent decades pressing to go to space.At age 82 she flew above the 100-kilometer boundary aboard Blue Origin’s New Shepard after an invitation from Jeff Bezos; the suborbital trip lasted just over 10 minutes and included several minutes of weightlessness.She logged more than 19,000 flight hours, trained thousands of pilots, worked as a flight instructor and air-safety investigator, and was inducted into multiple aviation halls of fame.
