Congrats to @michi_benthaus, a paraplegic German engineer who became the first wheelchair user to travel to space on Saturday, flying aboard a Blue Origin rocket launched from West Texas. Michaela Benthaus, injured in a mountain biking accident seven years ago, was among six passengers on the 10-minute suborbital flight. She said she laughed all the way up as the capsule soared more than 65 miles (105 kilometers) and tried to turn upside down in space, calling it “the coolest experience.” Thanks
