Her with 2025 inductee, Peggy WhitonIt would have been the same, but it did not because of the quarantine of the quarantine ahead of his future fifth launch in space.
Like Harris, Whitonson retired from NASA, but since 2018, working for Axiom Spacea Houston-based spaces-based company. He led the company’s second mission to International Space Station In 2023 and is now scheduled to lead the fourth, AX-4, launch as soon as this month.
As with 109 displays of astronauts That’s in the exhibit, Harris’s backlit plaque includes his portrait inserted into the glass, his name, year of his induction and images of his stages. Harris led his historic EVA, or extravechicular activity, the second of his two Space Shuttle Flights in 1995.
“Actually, I didn’t know I was the first American American until I got back inside, and I got the call that President Clinton wanted to talk to me,” Harris said, “Harris said According to Orlando Sendinel. “I’m different from, ‘What’s wrong?'”
WHITONS is the first astronaut to be able to entry at the Hall of Fame while in the middle of a mission and only the second inductee is still in the active flight status of or after his Soshrintainment. (Michael Lopez-Alegria, who also works for the axiom space, is the first of 2021. Mercury astronaut John Glennto be in the inaugural class of inductees in 1990, also flew in space after his induction as a specialist at Space Shuttle Payload in 1998.)

WHITONS gets an early view of his plaque in a private visitor’s visit to his three travencates in AX-4 before their entry to Quarantine.
Before flying for axiom, Whitonton has set the record for Most time in space by an American, 665 days, as well as sets the worldwide record most of the time on a woman’s planet. The records grow only as he continues to fly. (Total time outside the earth is now 675 days.)
“Harris and Whitonson It is true that it represents courage, enthusiastic spirit, and dedication to the exploration that is important for success in the space program, “chaarts in the field of the astroniut scholarship foundation,” led by the field contributions. In the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Complexwhere they participate in the heritage of space paths to receive this honor. “
In addition to Brown and Harris ceremony, the Saturday ceremony also includes convictions of Protra, President Operating Officer in Visitor Complex, and Kelvin Manning, Acting Director of the Kennedy Space Center. Harris was welcomed the hall and presented his induction medal at the 2014 Inductee Jerry Ross, flying the STS-55, first Spaceflight at STS-55.
Kent Rominger, who entered the 2015 hall and, like Whiton, served as a chief of the astronaut office, formally targeted the veteran space shuttle on his left.
“Please know that my heart is with you,” Whitonson says a previous recorded message, played on Saturday, according to Orlando Sendinel. “It is a privilege to be a part of a valued group of people who dedicate their lives to explore unknown.”
Brown (Class in 2013), Ross and Rominger are one of over 30 veterans and active astronauts attending the ceremony, most of those experienced in the Hall of Fame.
The hall at first suggested more than 30 years ago six remaining Mercury 7 astronaut. In addition to being trained, nominees should have made his first flight at least 15 years before the induction year, a US citizen and completed an orbit around the ground.
