Dorothy Metcalf-Lindenburger, born May 2, 1975 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, went into space in 2010. She graduated from Fort Collins High School and attended Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, graduating in 1997.
She was selected by NASA in 2004. She went into space aboard Discovery (STS-131) as mission specialist to the International Space Station in April 2010. She returned to Earth after 15 days in space.
Nicole Stott, born November 19, 1962 in Albany, New York, has been in space two times.
Her first trip was aboard Discovery (STS-128) as mission specialist to the International Space Station in August 2009. She performed an EVA with fellow astronaut John Olivas for 6 hours and 35 minutes.
Stott remained on board the ISS as part of Expeditions 20 and 21. She returned Earth aboard Atlantis (STS-129) in November 2009.
Her second and final flight was aboard Discovery (STS-133) as mission specialist to the ISS in February-March 2011. She has stayed more than 103 days in space.
Michael Barratt, born April 16, 1959 in Vancouver, Washington, is a veteran of two space flights.
His first mission was aboard Soyuz TMA-14 in March 2009 to the International Space Station. He participated in Expeditions 19 and 20. He and fellow astronaut Gennady Padalka performed two EVAs during the mission. Barratt returned to Earth October 2009.
His second and final mission was aboard Discovery's final mission (STS-133) as mission specialist in February-March 2011 to the ISS. Barratt operated the Canadarm2 during the mission.
In October 2004, Barratt participated in the Aquarius underwater laboratory during the NEEMO 7 mission.
Alvin Drew, born November 5, 1962 in Washington, DC, is a veteran of two space shuttle flights and during his last shuttle mission became the 200th person to walk in space.
His first mission into space was aboard Endeavour (STS-118) as mission specialist in August 2007 to the International Space Station. It was the first flight of the Endeavour after the Columbia disaster. Drew and fellow astronaut Barbara Morgan participated in an education event on August 16 (Day 9) with students in Alexandria, Virginia.
His wake-up songs are two songs I really like: Outa-space by Billy Preston and Learn to Fly by the Foo Fighters.
Drew's second mission into space was aboard Discovery (STS-133) in February-March 2011 to the International Space Station. It was the 39th and final mission of Discovery. It completed a cumulative total of 365 days in space. Drew performed the mission's first EVA on Day 5 with fellow astronaut Steve Bowen. That is when Drew became the 200th person to walk in space.
