On the 10th anniversary of Space Boffins, Sue Nelson and Richard Hollingham are joined by BBC Science and Space Correspondent Jonathan Amos to celebrate Mercury 13 legend Wally Funk as she prepares to launch to space with Jeff Bezos. As author of Wally Funk’s Race for Space, Sue shares a new conversation with Wally testing out a Mercury capsule.
