| Description: | The Student Endowed Centennial Lectureship Committee is proud to present "Endeavour to Succeed" with Captain Mark Kelly, commander of the Space Shuttle Endeavour's final mission.
Captain Kelly is an American astronaut, retired U.S. Navy captain, best-selling author, prostate cancer survivor and an experienced naval aviator who flew combat missions during the Gulf War. The winner of many awards, including the Legion of Merit, two Defense Superior Service Medals and two Distinguished Flying Crosses, Kelly was selected as an astronaut in 1996. He flew his first of four missions in 2001 aboard Space Shuttle Endeavour, the same space shuttle that he commanded on its final flight in May 2011.
Already a celebrated American, Kelly became the center of international attention after the January 2011 assassination attempt on his wife, U.S. congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. In their best-selling memoir, "Gabby," the couple shares their story of hope and resilience with the world. Esquire magazine named Kelly one of its 2011 "Americans of the Year." |
