These are snapshots of some WWII and NASA heroes that I shot last fall during a tour of NASA's Johnson Space Center. What always amazes me is how humble and down-to-earth they are - very nice guys. Not sure about you, but it's not likely that we'll ever do anything in the same ballpark -- maybe not even the same sport -- as any of these guys.
