It’s a great one!
A Million Miles Away tells the story of Jose Hernandez, a migrant turned Astronaut. Hernandez is played by Michael Pena. It’s an amazing story of Hernandez coming to America as a child with his family to work the fields in California and eventually being picked by NASA to fly as a mission specialist on the Shuttle.
At times it’s a bit corny and there are scenes at Johnson Space Center that are not at Johnson Space Center but most people will never know that. Hernandez has a cameo appearance in the movie. It’s a great movie to kick off Hispanic Month.
BTW. Hernandez wife, Adela, opened a restaurant across the street from JSC Credit Union outside the north gate of JSC. My club would have weekly lunches there. We loved Adela!
If you have Amazon Prime, take some time to watch it.
