Massive Atlanta art piece depicts trailblazing astronaut

ATLANTA - Some young aspiring astronauts got an out-of-this-world experience in Downtown Atlanta on Monday.

"I want to be somebody who designs the rocket ships," said Ryan Sumner-Lee.

The six-year-old met three trailblazing astronauts who are women at the unveiling of a giant "earthwork" honoring astronaut Stephanie Wilson at Woodruff Park. The gigantic portrait of Wilson was constructed out of dirt, grass, and other organic materials. More than a thousand galactic paintings created by Atlanta-area students surrounded the piece.

Civilian astronaut Dr. Sian Proctor just returned to the planet a few weeks ago. On the SpaceX mission Inspiration4, Proctor became the fourth Black woman to go to space and the first to pilot a spacecraft.
