Celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month - Rodolfo Neri Vela, first Mexican astronaut


National Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 to October 15, celebrates and recognizes the contributions made to the U.S. from Hispanic and Latino Americans.

To start,  I'm going to celebrate Rodolfo Neri Vela, the first and only Mexican in space.  Vela's only spaceflight was aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis (STS-61-B) as Payload Specialist November - December 1985.

He debuted as a voice actor in 2016 as the intercom announcer for the Institute PA system in the Latin dubbing of Finding Dory.
