Mr. Funk passed the NASA astronaut test in 1961 with first place, but did not go to real space.
At the time, NASA only allowed men who were military pilots as astronauts.
Funk's dream has finally come true after 60 years.
That's thanks to Blue Origin, a space exploration company owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, who invited Wally Funk to an upcoming space trip as an 'honorary passenger'.
On the 20th of this month, Mr. Funk, Bezos, his younger brother Mark Bezos, and an anonymous successful bidder who paid about 31.2 billion won for a space travel ticket at an auction will travel for 11 minutes in a rocket 'New Shepard'.
Funk, who will be recorded as the oldest space traveler at the age of 82 this year, was delighted, saying, "It's fantastic that I finally got the chance to go to space. I can't wait any longer."
Netizens responded, "It's the moment when Grandma's lifelong dream comes true. I hope you enjoy the great joy!", "It's like getting more than 30 billion free tickets!
