Texas A&M is a fine university..the first President Bush has his library there..but I can't help but think of that joke about space flight..There is a science convention in Texas..The Rice delegation says they are going to send a man to Mars...The TCU delegation says they are going to send a man to Venus..the Aggies walk up and say they are going to send a man to the sun..the judges are puzzled..they ask how..the Aggies say they will go at nite..(I know it is an old joke..but still funny)..

"I had no intention of joining the military,” Fossum said. “But I needed a dorm room and joined the Corps. That whole decision is what got me involved in the [NASA] circle. It’s ironic.”

The Corps changed his life, Fossum said. He spent four years in the organization — commanding Squadron 3 his senior year — and joined the U.S. Air Force after graduation.

While doing graduate work at the Air Force’s Institute of Technology, Fossum was loaned to NASA to work in mission control in support of space shuttle missions.

“Some people are born to do this,” Fossum said of being an astronaut. “Some are just led by the Lord one step at a time. As one door closes, he opens up a window. That’s what I think happened for me.”

Now he has an opportunity to walk in the "heavens".

Bet he'll find 88 stars in the sky. Gig 'Em!
