Caribou native Jessica Meir was lauded as a distinguished astronaut, biologist and member of the Artemis team during Satuday's ceremony.
Jessica Meir has been making history for years and is now adding another big honor, along with William Shatner.
The Caribou native was the first Maine woman to travel to space and is training for a future mission to the moon.
William Shatner, "Star Trek's" Captain James T. Kirk, and Jessica Meir, UC San Diego graduate, biologist and NASA astronaut, are among those slated to be inducted into the International Air & Space Hall of Fame at a gala at the San Diego Air & Space Museum Saturday.
The permanent exhibit features animatronics of Brigadier General Benjamin O. Davis telling the milestones of Black aviators.
