It was April 8, 1993 that Ellen Ochoa became the first hispanic woman to go into space. Ellen was in the Discovery Shuttle for nine days while working on important research about the Earth’s ozone layer. Ellen Ochoa has gone on three space flights since totalling to 1000 hours in space.
And, as if her being the first hispanic woman in space wasn’t enough for her, in 2013 Ochoa became the 1st Hispanic director, and 2nd female director, of the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
