Paralympic Sprinter Set to Redefine Space Travel

The UK Space Agency and startup Vast are teaming up to send Paralympic sprinter John McFall, a below-knee amputee, into space by 2027.

The history of space travel shows that those considered different often excel in unexpected ways. What does it mean for you?

It's a reminder that everyone has something valuable to contribute, whether it's in space or right here on Earth.
