Jeff Bezos Fulfils An 82-yr-old Woman’s Dream To Go To Space

Imagine working your whole life for something, but then it doesn’t work out. That feeling of not being able to achieve your goal is as worse as heartbreak. But what if you come to know that life gave you a second chance? What if you have one more shot at fulfilling your dream? Would you take it? I know I would. And Jeff Bezos recently did the same for a woman. He gave her dream a second chance.

Recently, Jeff Bezos announced that an 82-year-old woman, Wally Funk will be traveling with him to space on 20th July. She will be the honored guest that will accompany him during Blue Origin’s first human flight to space.

This 82-year-old woman was given a second chance to travel to space by the world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos. In 1961, she was a part of ‘Mercury 13’ and had even undergone astronaut training. 

And even though that didn’t work out for her. Because of Jeff Bezos, she will now be the oldest ever person to fly to space. And that is a dream come true for her. If not for him, she wouldn’t have gotten this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Jeff Bezos has worked hard and built an empire from scratch. And now he is responsible for fulfilling an elderly woman’s dream. Who says that you need to be of a certain age to achieve something? Or that you need to have contacts to achieve your goal?

If you’re passionate and capable enough to dream and fulfil it, then life will – in its own unexpected way – bring opportunities to your doorstep.
