Great for future astronauts submitted by katiekipp on July 20, 2020, 8:29pm Great for future astronauts

Ellen Ochoa’s Quest submitted by rweyler on July 29, 2021, 10:44am This story is written in verses for children. It makes clear the racist hurdles that Ochoa had to overcome. It also shows the hard work required just to be accepted to NASA’s program. Recommended.
