Colorado’s Astronauts In Their Own Words

Colorado’s Astronauts In Their Own Words

In just the first 50 years of the Space Age, more than 64 astronauts have developed close ties to the State of Colorado. Through birth, university, or employment these space professionals have put Colorado on the leading edge of space exploration and study. Colorado’s Astronauts In Their Own Words offers guests a look at some of the fine men and women with connections to the Centennial State and how they have helped transform our understanding of space.
