The Astronaut
Col. Jim Voss graduated from Auburn in 1972 with a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering, but he knew his less than 20/20 eyesight was for sure going to keep him from flying. Boy, was he wrong. Fifty-two years, three NASA shuttles, 550 orbits, half a year on the International Space Station and a nearly nine-hour spacewalk later, and this retired Army colonel and former astronaut is still inspiring generations of Auburn engineers. So, pull your straps tight and buckle up as we prepare to liftoff with The Astronaut.
