- I wanted to be the first Puerto Rican astronaut. Through Civil Air Patrol I learned to fly an airplane before I learned to drive a car. I earned my pilot license in 1979. In 1978 I applied to be an astronaut when women were finally allowed to apply to NASA. I didn't make it but I did eyewitness human space exploration history at NASA-JSC. Now I am sharing my experiences as a public speaker. CNN iReport vetted several of my photographs for their space shuttle coverage. I was interviewed for an article that will appear within the next day or so. http://ireport.cnn.com/people/technorican
