STS-122 was the first space flight for mission specialist Leland Melvin. Read about how his experience as a self-proclaimed chemistry nerd and an NFL draftee brought him to NASA and ultimately, to the Astronaut Corps: https://go.nasa.gov/3YnLtQ8 #BlackHistoryMonth #NASAhistory
that's amazing I'm happy he could travel to space and a bit jealous. I imagine this step outside our breathable atmosphere parts to be very transforming on a personal level. Is he still working as an astronaut?
