Eileen Collins
Daughter of Irish immigrants, Eileen was born in Elmira, NY in 1956. Starting off with an associate's degree from a community college, Eileen went on to get two Masters degrees and then to become the second woman to be admitted to the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School. Twenty years ago, Eileen broke through the glass ceiling (or literally the atmosphere in this instance), becoming the first female pilot of the Space Shuttle. Four years later, she was the first female commander of a Space Shuttle Mission. Eileen has spent 38 days, 8 hours, and 10 minutes in space. Eileen is an inductee to the national Women's Hall of Fame and has been recognized by Encyclopedia Britannica as one of the top 300 women in history who have changed the world.
