Ed Dwight, who was once poised to become America's first Black astronaut during the 1960s, has finally reached space for the first time.
Dwight is now the oldest person to ever go to space, beating out Canadian ‘Star Trek’ actor William Shatner by just two months.
Heidi Petracek explains how Dwight lost the opportunity, how he was able to shatter the record 63 years later and what this trip means to him.
