About

When the former Detroit Lion s football career was cut short by an injury, Leland didn t waste time mourning his broken dream. Instead, he found a new one something that was completely out of this world. He joined NASA, braved an injury that nearly left him permanently deaf, and still managed to muster the courage and resolve to travel to space on the shuttle Atlantis to help build the International Space Station. Leland s problem-solving methods and can-do attitude turned his impossible-seeming dream into reality.
