Video Title:
From Cowboy Boots to Space Boots
Description:
Astronaut Danny Olivas grew up in Texas, studied engineering, became an astronaut, and flew on two space shuttle missions. During his 27 days total in space, Olivas spent almost 35 hours on five spacewalks working outside the International Space Station. He later wrote a children’s book, "Endeavour’s Long Journey," about the missions of the newest space shuttle orbiter. Olivas will talk about his journey from his hometown of El Paso, Texas to the final frontier of space and how engineering prepared him for an out-of-this-world job. This program is made possible through the generous support of Boeing.
