I got ahold of NASA four times, and said' I want to become an astronaut,' but nobody would take me, i didn't think I would ever get to go up. Nothing has ever gotten in my way. They say,' Wally Funk, you're a girl, you can't do that.' I said,' Guess what, doesn't matter what you are, you can still do Wally Funk if you want to do Wally Funk,' and I like to do things that nobody's ever done before.
