... that Renate Brümmer(pictured) and
Heike Walpot were the only women in the first
German astronaut selection, but neither went to space? Source: I linked these but they're not here; cited in line in article
Comment: The next in what appears to be a trend of early-women-astronauts-didn't-go-to-space/ nomination for WHM (if it doesn't get reviewed in time for March, her birthday in May 4, so it could go up then)

Article is long enough and new enough, no copyvio issues. QPQ done, image clear, used in article and free. I was wondering if you could suggest an ALT that focuses more on her accomplishments/her as a person? I know this is very much a subjective thing, but I feel like this hook is quite negative, and there's loads of other interesting information about her.

Or even just:
ALT2: ... that Renate Brümmer(pictured) was Germany's first female astronaut?
Though Walpot was selected at the same time, she didn't undergo flight training (as written and cited in article).
