Astronaut Nicole Mann becomes first Native American woman in space

NASA astronaut Nicole Aunapu Mann made history as the first Native American woman to launch into space.

Mann was joined on the SpaceX Falcon rocket Wednesday by fellow NASA astronaut Josh Cassada, Japan's Koichi Wakata and Russia's Anna Kikina, orbiting in a Crew Dragon capsule and set to reach the outpost in 29 hours. The mission known as Crew-5 is SpaceX's sixth crewed flight under contract from NASA and eighth overall when including private spaceflights.
