Enjoy my new article about Colonel George Zamka, a United States Marine who also happens to be one of our astronauts. The article appears in the July issue of Leatherneck Magazine, the official publication of the Marine Corps Association.
Zamka’s nearly three-decade Marine career is packed with diversity and tremendous achievements. He has served as a pilot, racking up more than 5,000 hours in some 30 aircraft types. Out of the cockpit, Zamka completed tours as a forward air controller, maintenance officer and, since his appointment in June 1998, as one of America’s 95 astronauts. To date Zamka has logged nearly 700 hours in space.
