Up, Up, Ellen and Away!

There are lots of amazing Ellens out there.

Did you know that Ellen Ochoa is the first Hispanic female astronaut?

Years ago, it seemed like we all knew all of the astronaut's names and missions, but now there are so many it's hard to keep up. As a kid I was completely fascinated by the Solar System and had models and mobiles in my room. Not so much today, but the recent pictures of Saturn and the sunspots were pretty thrilling and brought back that old feeling again.
