The first mom in space, Anna Fisher, joined NASA in 1978. Fisher launched and returned successfully on space shuttle Discovery in1984, becoming the first mother ever to travel to space. In total, she logged about 200 hours in space. Before her days at NASA, Fisher earned a Bachelor of Science in chemistry and a Doctor of Medicine from the University of California, Los Angeles.

In addition to serving as a boundary-breaking astronaut, Fisher served as a physician in the recovery helicopter for three space shuttle missions, helped to develop rescue procedures for shuttle missions and worked as chief of the space station branch from 1996 to 2002, when the International Space Station was first being constructed. Just last year, after over three decades of service, Fisher retired from NASA.
