Michael Fossum: Aggie Shuttle Crew Member



















I knew Fossum was an Aggie, but thanks to my Aunt Diane for forwarding the nice write up here.

There's also a nice bio page on Fossum at the NASA site.

Finally, there's a great interview here, also from the NASA site. Here's an excerpt:

"I got started on the journey without having any idea where it might lead someday. I wanted to become an engineer, and I decided to go to Texas A&M University. In a kind of a strange quirk the dorms were full; and apartments were too expensive. My only option for getting a dorm was to, join the Corps of Cadets, join the ROTC program, at A&M."

Gig 'em Mike!
