We just met retired Astronaut Marcos Pontes at the Astronaut of the Day autograph signing session at the Kennedy Space Center gift shop. He had copies of his book, written in Portuguese, and other books in Portuguese for sale and the standard courtesy 8 1/2 × 11 size photo for signing. We also had a photo taken with him. He is a nice man. I will be confirming what I heard. He may be now in government in Brazil. He may be a year or so younger than I am, which would make him the youngest Astronaut we have met.
