Wonder Women of Aviation

This Women's History Month, join us in honoring Sharon McDougle, a former Air Force veteran and NASA suit technician. She was the first African-American woman to don a flight suit and help prepare the SR71 aircraft for its incredible missions. Hear her story of what it was like to be a pioneer in aviation and the struggles she faced along the way. Plus, learn all about NASA flight suits - the materials they use, the features that make them different from regular flight suits, and even some special features like diapers that are designed for astronauts!
