<p>the next two NASA shuttle missions into space will be piloted by two USAFA grads. kinda cool huh?</p>
<p>the LAST two missions, eh?</p>
<p>yea, how about that?</p>
<p>HNeedle is right. Neither the STS-119 (Feb 12th) or STS-125 (May 12th) has USAFA grads. Colonel Archambault is in the AF, but didn’t come from USAFA. Dr. Philips, from STS-119, is a retired USNA grad from '72.</p>
<p>…someone can check me on that.</p>
