@howitworkssss: NASA rejected José Hernández 11 times. On his 12th application, he showed up in person. 🚀📄 By then, Hernández had spent years studying what NASA wanted in its astronauts and building the qualifications he was missing. He became a licensed pilot. Learned Russian. Trained in scuba diving. Kept applying. And kept getting rejected. What makes his story remarkable isn’t that he tried the same thing 12 times. It’s that he kept becoming a stronger candidate between attempts. NASA finally selected Hernández as an astronaut candidate in 2004. Five years later, he flew aboard Space Shuttle Discovery. Eleven rejections didn’t decide his future. The 12th application changed it.
