On Saturday, May 30, a lot of people came out to NASA's Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex for watching four space shuttle veterans, inducted into the US Astronaut Hall of Fame. They also came to celebrate the 34th wedding anniversary of the first astronaut couple.

A former shuttle commander, Robert "Hoot" Gibson remarked that such a thing has never happened before. Robert "Hoot" Gibson was 2003 Hall of Fame inductee and, since 1981 has been married to astronaut Rhea Seddon.

He mentioned that this was the first time a spouse got the wonderful opportunity, that he has today, to present his wife for induction into the Astronaut Hall of Fame.

Before the launch of the tales about Seddon's trailblazing career as one of NASA's first female astronauts, Gibson joked that all his friends in the astronaut corps kept telling him that this could be kind of risky. Gibson said that this is really a thrill for him.

Seddon has logged 30 days in space during her three shuttle missions. Gibson said that their life together was 'beyond my wildest dreams' and Seddon embraced him after he got emotional and choked up while speaking.

Seddon told the audience, "You know, there are moments in everyone's life when he or she looks around, saying, 'What the heck am I doing here? For the ones who have flown in space that moment often comes when we first look out the window at the Earth from orbit". She added that she was having one of those moments right now.

On the stage, Seddon was joined by her fellow 2015 inductees, spacewalker John Grunsfeld, Steven Lindsey and Kent Rominger.
