Peggy Whitson

Retired NASA astronaut and Iowa native is set to help make history again.

She's a record-setter who's had a 2017 that's nothing short of incredible.

It's only been an official town for a short time but has a rich history as home to one of our nation's elite and the birthplace of a Midwest institution.

Whitson will be part of a mission to the international space station. While there, she'll celebrate her 57th birthday, making her the oldest woman to visit space.
