In this What's New in Aerospace presentation, Dr. Rhea Seddon and Capt. Robert “Hoot” Gibson talk about life as an astronaut couple. Dr. Seddon, a surgeon and astronaut, flew three space flights and has logged over 700 hours in space. Her husband Hoot Gibson is a pilot and astronaut who has flown five missions and spent over 850 hours in space.
