Joe Engle—age 32—flew the X-15 OTD in 1965 to an altitude of more than 50 miles, qualifying for astronaut wings under the USAF definition.
He was selected to become a NASA astronaut the following year and was the only person to have flown both the X-15 and the Space Shuttle.
@NASAhistory Sorry I don't know this, did I fly the shuttle to space, or did he only fly the pictured Enterprise?
@TNCannuck In addition to flying a few of the Approach and Landing Tests aboard Enterprise, Engle commanded the second shuttle mission (STS-2) aboard Columbia as well as STS-51I aboard Discovery.
