Ed Dwight, 90, launched into space with Blue Origin, fulfilling an unmet dream since NASA's 1963 astronaut selections.
Dwight, initially not picked for NASA due to potential racism, savored the moment raising his arms post-spaceflight, celebrating a 'Long time coming.'
Blue Origin's NS-25 mission marked the company's first crew launch in two years following a previous accident, symbolizing progress towards heavier rocket developments.
'This is a life-changing experience, everybody needs to do this,' Dwight expressed after becoming the oldest person in space by Space for Humanity sponsorship.
