My grandpa worked for NASA and helped build some of the Gemini, all the Apollos, and the Space Shuttles too. He used to always come to my classroom when I was a kid to talk all about what he did and about the space program.

I am so glad for all I have learned from my grandpa and all the amazing things that NASA has done for the world!
