Ed Dwight was an Air Force pilot when President John F Kennedy championed him as a candidate for NASA's early astronaut corps. But he wasn't picked for the 1963 class. Dwight, now 90, got to experience a few minutes of weightlessness with five other passengers aboard the Blue Origin capsule as it skimmed space.

The brief flight from West Texas made Dwight the new record-holder for oldest person in space nearly two months older than Star Trek actor William Shatner was when he went up in 2021.
