Tomorrow, NASA will launch the Discovery after two delays.
One of the highlights of the launch is the crew - For the first time there will be two Hispanics on board as crewdogs.
Jose Hernandez is a California (Stockton) native and his story is a pretty good one.
He came from a family of braceros, migrant farm workers, who chased seasonal crops, and work, from Central CA down to Mexico.
