Joseph M. Acaba
Joseph M. Acaba was one of just three educator mission specialists to have been chosen by NASA. On his first flight, Acaba flew with one of the other two - Richard R. Arnold, on STS-119/Discovery.
Acaba's second mission was as flight engineer for ISS Exp. 31 and 32. As part of that mission, he among other tasks supported the arrival of the first commercial resupply spacecraft, SpaceX's Dragon, in late May 2012 - along with other astronauts, Donald R. Pettit, whom I met in October 2012.
I had a photo like this signed by Leland D. Melvin, which I gave up. I was fortunate to get a similar pose signed in-person by Acaba at a NASA Social event. And, this photo was used as the image for the NASA Social badges. Washington, DC. 4 Dec. 2012
