Meet the First Hispanic Woman in Space

Yesenia Perez, a student at Mark Twain Dual Language Academy, is shining a light on a trailblazer: Ellen Ochoa, who in 1993 became the first Hispanic woman to fly to space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. Ochoa didn't stop there. She went on to become the first Hispanic director of NASA's Johnson Space Center, helping lead the agency's human spaceflight program.
