🚀 To infinity... Anastatia Mayers and her mother Keisha Schahaff will be the first-ever mother-daughter duo to travel into space.

The pair entered a sweepstake a few months ago to win a spot on the Virgin Galactic 02 flight, which is scheduled to take off on August 10, 2023, from New Mexico. 

  • "Suddenly months later I'm getting correspondences saying that you're a top 20 finalist, then a top five finalist, to becoming a winner," Keisha said. "Suddenly, who's walking into my yard? Richard Branson. The whole team just swarmed into my house saying, 'You're the winner, you're going to space.'"

💫 And beyond... The pair will not only be the first mother/daughter duo to make it to space – they'll also be the first people from the Caribbean to do so.
