On Monday, April 24, Astronaut Peggy Whitson passed the U.S. record for the most days in space. Congratulations to this 57-year-old woman for surpassing the record of 534 days in space. Peggy won't be back to earth until September, so she'll have even more days in space!
She has accomplished many firsts in her career.
- At the time nearly 57, Whitson also became the oldest woman to fly into space when she left for the station in November.
- She is repeating her record as the first woman to command the International Space Station.
- Peggy also holds the woman's record for the longest amount of time spent doing extra vehicular activities, or spacewalks, at more than 39 hours.
Take a peek at an interview with Peggy on the International Space Station. The Iowa Public TV Kids Clubhouse asks her many questions about life in space.
