No — Wally Funk's handedness is unknown, as no reliable public source currently confirms left-handedness.
Mary Wallace 'Wally' Funk is an American aviator, space tourist, and Goodwill Ambassador. She was one of the Mercury 13, a group of American women pilots who underwent the same physiological screening tests as the Mercury Seven male astronauts in the early 1960s.
Despite passing these rigorous tests, the Mercury 13 program was cancelled, and Funk, like the other women, was denied the opportunity to become an astronaut by NASA due to her gender at the time.
Funk had a long and distinguished career in aviation, becoming the first female air safety investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and later serving as a FAA flight instructor and operations inspector.
In 2021, at the age of 82, Wally Funk became the oldest person to travel to space, flying aboard Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket with Jeff Bezos, fulfilling a lifelong dream she had harbored since the Mercury 13 program.
