Riding Rockets into Space with Mike Mullane—NASA Astronaut

Is there anything more aggressive than strapping yourself to a rocket and blasting off into space? Yet that’s exactly what Mike Mullane did. Chosen as one of the original space shuttle astronauts, Mike was a part of three separate missions, logging almost 15 days in space before his retirement. His aggressive life involves homemade jet fuel, 134 combat missions in Vietnam, freakin’ space, and an avid love for the outdoors.
