Throwback Thursday - Mike Massimino

With Mike Massimino, mid-2002, at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, NY. I did an article on his appearance there for the newspaper in Franklin Square, his hometown. (Unfortunately, with a number of moves, I no longer have a copy of the article.) "Space Shuttle: The First 20 Years" had just come out, but I didn't have the book on hand when I met him, otherwise Massimino would have been the fifth or so signer. Despite appearances in the New York area, I would not meet Massimino again until 2011, at the Earth, Air, Ocean and Space: The Future of Exploration event at MIT in Boston.
