In collaboration with Amazon Studios, NASA is helping chronicle the life and career of retired NASA astronaut José Hernández through an upcoming film. “A Million Miles Away,” starring Michael Peña, tells the story of Hernández’ journey from migrant farmer to NASA space explorer.
For the film, NASA provided technical expertise, footage and imagery, and secured clearances for set designs, props, and costumes.
“José, a Latino astronaut, is one of many diverse professionals who have contributed to our work to explore the secrets of the universe for the benefit of all,” said Elaine Ho, chief diversity officer at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “His story – one that underscores of the power of perseverance to achieve your dreams – is an inspiration to individuals of all backgrounds.”
Seeking talent from every corner of America, and every walk of life, NASA has assembled a team of world-class experts who share a passion for exploration. Since 1980, the agency has selected more than a dozen Latino astronauts.
“Hispanic Heritage Month also begins in the coming weeks and films like this provide meaningful platforms to help tell stories like Hernández’s, while also fostering awareness of NASA’s history and inspiring a new generation – the Artemis Generation,” said Brian Odom, chief historian at NASA Headquarters.
NASA is committed to a culture of diversity and inclusion across its whole workforce, which increasingly reflects the American public. As the agency continues its journey of lunar exploration missions through the Artemis program, NASA is committed to sending the first woman and first person of color to the lunar surface. At the Moon, NASA will prepare for its next giant leap – human exploration of Mars.

For decades, satellites have measured dramatic changes in the world's forests. These eyes in the sky provide timely information on environmental change and human activity in forests, especially in remote ones. The Jane Goodall Institute has been working with NASA and using Earth science satellite imagery and data in its chimpanzee and forest conservation efforts in Africa, particularly the Gombe region.
The observations and analyses from above aid Goodall's TACARE program -- a community-led approach to conserving the environment while improving and enriching the lives of people who live nearby. Such efforts are crucial to protecting the planet's biodiversity and achieving sustainable human development of the landscape. Learn more in this video.
