Eileen Marie Collins is becoming an inspiration to not just women, but also everyone who dares to dream. She has made history by becoming the first woman to pilot and command a NASA spacecraft, wow!
Eileen Marie Collins was born on November 19, 1956, in Elmira, New York. Even from a very young age, airfields had been her fascination, and she would spend hours watching gliders and aircraft, igniting the dreams in her life. Though her family never stood against her dreams, it was tough for them to support her financially to reach her dreams. To support herself to reach the goal, from the age of 16, she was working part-time jobs, saving money to take flying lessons.
