A Nigerian lawyer has become the first from the country to travel to space.

 

Owolabi Salis achieved this after being aboard the Blue Origin’s NS-33 mission, which took off from West Texas on Sunday, June 29.

 

The 10-minute flight, which crossed the Kármán line also had Carl Kuehner, Jim Sitkin, Leland Larson, Freddie Rescigno Jr., and Allie Kuehner on board.

 

It reached a peak altitude of 105.2 kilometres.

 

Salis, before embarking on the trip, said that the mission was “more than just a trip into space”.

 

He described it as a “spiritual journey, a call to inspire future generations”.

 

Salis has previously entered the history books as the first Black African to travel to both the Arctic and Antarctic in the same season.
