Even as a former standout athlete—he was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the 1986 NFL Draft—with a masters in Materials Sciences, Leland Melvin never dreamed of becoming an astronaut until a colleague at NASA convinced him to enter the trials. Despite a debilitating ear injury sustained during training, Leland served among the first flight crews that led America back into space following the space shuttle Columbia disaster. He is now a NASA educator, helping to raise the profile of the U.S. space program in the post-shuttle era.
In this video, Leland gives us unprecedented access to his private archives and provides never heard before stories to help us understand who he is today.
