As a young boy, José Hernández worked alongside his Mexican immigrant family, picking fruits and vegetables throughout the San Joaquin Valley and Stockton. When he watched the first astronauts walk on the moon, Hernández knew right away that he wanted to be just like them, so he followed his father's advice and worked tirelessly through school to become an engineer. It took Hernández 12 attempts, but his dream was finally set in motion when he was accepted into NASA’s space program and got to fly into space at age 47. Host Giselle Fernandez revisits her conversation with Hernández, who started the Reaching for the Stars Foundation that aims to expose kids to STEM-related opportunities.
