Michael Massimino, PhD
Mike Massimino is a former NASA Astronaut, a New York Times bestselling author, a Columbia University engineering professor, an advisor at The Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum, and a television personality. After working as an engineer at IBM, NASA, and McDonnell Douglas Aerospace, along with academic appointments at Rice University and at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Mike was selected as an astronaut by NASA in 1996. He persisted through three rejections over 7 years on his way to becoming an astronaut, including overcoming a medical disqualification by training his eyes and brain to see better. A spacewalker on the fourth and fifth Hubble Space Telescope servicing missions in 2002 and 2009, Mike and his crews traveled faster (Mach 26) and higher (350 miles) than any other astronauts in the 21st century while increasing the discovery capabilities of arguably the greatest scientific instrument ever built by a factor of 100. During the final Hubble servicing mission, Mike was faced with both success and life-threatening challenges as he performed the most intricate repair ever attempted in space. Mike was the first person to tweet from space, holds the team record for the most spacewalking time on a single space shuttle mission, and was the last person to work inside of the Hubble Space Telescope.
