Manage episode 443983302 series 2796465
Imagine the ability to solemnly see the Earth and the universe from high above the sky and contributing to the ever-important infrastructure that informs us about outer space.
A lifelong Aggie, Col. (Ret.) Michael E. Fossum was a former NASA astronaut who logged nearly 200 days in space, worked over 48 hours of extravehicular activity, and embarked on key missions to the International Space Station. He now serves as a VP of Texas A&M and the Chief Operating Officer of the Galveston campus. Hear Col. Fossum's inspiring story about working to become an astronaut, his service in space, the mission and vision of A&M-Galveston, and much more!
A sincere thank you to my mother and father (A&M-Galveston alumnus) for our family's continued support for Texas A&M! Gig 'em!
