Great that Chinese taikonaut Wang Yaping and NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg are now in space to celebrate the anniversary of the flight of Valentina Tereshkova aboard Vostok 6 on June 16, 1963.

By coincidence, Nyberg became the 50th woman in space during STS-124.

He presents the interview now to mark the 50th anniversary of Tereshkova's flight.
