Just in time for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, NASA has created a fantastic website featuring the scores of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who are working or have worked with the agency. in every capacity, from astronauts, flight directors, engineers and more.
It includes the first Asian American into space, astronaut Ellison Onizuka, and mission specialist Daniel M. Tani, who is currently on the international space station.
The number of AAPI working at the space agency might not surprise a lot of people but they are a reminder at how much immigrants and the children of immigrants continue to contribute to this country's next great adventure.
