Mexico and Astronauts

A NASA astronaut said he wants to help Mexican officials start the country's first space agency. That sounds like a good idea, doesn't it? He said he has no plans to leave his job at NASA, but hopes to help Mexico's program get off the ground. He is the U.S. born son of a Mexican migrant farm worker who spent much of his childhood moving between Mexico and the U.S. He has lobbied for a space program in meetings with Mexican lawmakers on Tuesday.
