Today is National Astronaut Day! It is the anniversary of Alan Shepard becoming the first American in space! Since this historic day in 1961 records continued to be made. On Monday Peggy Whitson broke the record for cumulative time spent in space by a US astronaut. She was also the first female to command the space station. We wish Peggy the very best on her mission #congratspeggy
