If you have watched the Netflix series Countdown: Inspiration4 Mission To
Space then you will know about Dr Proctor and her journey to being an
astronaut. Dr. Proctor is a geoscientist, explorer, space artist, and
astronaut. She is the mission pilot for the Inspiration4 all-civilian
orbital mission to space. She is also one of The Explorer's Club 50: Fifty
People Changing the World. Her motto is called Space2inspire where she
encourages people to use their unique, one-of-a-kind strengths, and passion
to inspire those within their reach and beyond. She believes that we need to
actively strive for a J.E.D.I. space: a just, equitable, diverse, and
inclusive space as we advance human spaceflight. Dr Proctor is one of only 2
black women to fly to space in the last 13 yrs and she is the 1st black
woman mission pilot.
