Space shuttle crewmates Ochoa and Foale to enter Astronaut Hall of Fame

The first hispanic woman to fly into space and an astrophysicist who turned to the stars to help him survive a dangerous collision in orbit will be inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame in May.

Former NASA astronauts and crewmates Ellen Ochoa and Michael Foale will be enshrined as the Hall's 2017 class of inductees at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida. A public ceremony on May 19, followed by a gala dinner hosted by the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation the next evening, will welcome Ochoa and Foale as the 94th and 95th honorees in the Astronaut Hall of Fame.

Ellen Ochoa's reaction:
"I'm honored to be recognized among generations of astronauts who were at the forefront of exploring our universe for the benefit of humankind. I hope to continue to inspire our nation's youth to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math so they, too, may reach for the stars."

Space shuttle crewmates Foale and Ochoa enter Astronaut Hall of Fame

Nearly 25 years after they flew into space together, Michael Foale and Ellen Ochoa entered the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame on Friday (May 19) as inductees.

Standing under the retired space shuttle Atlantis, a vehicle on which they both flew missions, Foale and Ochoa were celebrated at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in Florida in front of an audience of their fellow astronauts, family members, friends and the general public.

Seeing nine patches for Foale's six flights on his plaque makes me wonder how they'll fit Scott Kelly's patches if he gets inducted...
