The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's space shuttle mission that launched from the Kennedy Space Center on August 28 includes two astronauts of Mexican descent. The astronauts are Juan Daniel Olivas and Jose Moreno Hernandez. This is the first time that two Mexicans are in space together. The "First Mexican in Space" was Rodolfo Neri Vela who flew aboard a NASA Space Shuttle mission in 1985.
