Astronomy Live: 330 Hours in Space

In 2002, John Herrington made history as the first citizen of a federally recognized Native American tribe (Chickasaw Nation) to travel to space. Herrington was part of the STS-113 mission to deliver a new Expedition 6 crew to the International Space Station (ISS) and the P1 Truss segment, which provides structural support for the ISS radiators.

In this Astronomy Live, Commander Herrington will trace his journey on the Space Shuttle Endeavour, share details about his spacewalks, and discuss the “overview effect” and how his view of Earth and climate was transformed by his time in space.
