Astro Tim Returns to Earth

from The Low Down Hosted by Columbia Alumni Association

We often like to talk about how our alumni reach grand heights in their successes and go far in their contributions to society. And not many have gone quite as far as Business School alum Timothy Kopra. That is...as far as outer space. Timothy Kopra is a NASA astronaut with not one but two space trips on his resume. Kopra has lived on the International Space Station for a total of 244 days, doing three spacewalks and instagramming with captions like #citiesfromspace and good night from @ISS. Once he got back to Earth, he visited Columbia University to speak with students about engineering, team work and what he looks for in an aspiring astronaut.
