**The Impact of Hispanics as the Largest Minority in the United States** Did you ever want to become an astronant? John Danny Olivas was a famous hispanic who is a fomer astronant who worked for NASA. He had an huge impact on hispanic people to follow there dreams,and to never give up. His dad always told him to never be hard on yourself and to always stay strong. He had a very creative mind, and had many dreams growing up. He knew he wanted to help people in some way but he just didn't know yet. He left an amazing footprint on NASA, and he made an impact on Hispanic culture and the US. (John D. Olivas)

As a kid he loved helping his dad fix cars and building rockets. Even as a kid he was very educated in mechanically engineering. He was already studing mechanical engineering as a kid. He was very mechanically inclined, due to his fathers high skill of mechanial engineering. When he watched his dad work on mechanical engineering, it just wanted him to learn about it more. He was born in North Holly Wood, California. He grew up in El Paso, Texas and he graduated collage in El Paso, Texas. He got into space when he visited the Johnson Space center in Houston. He got married to his now wife Maria and had five children with her. He recived a degree in mechanical engineering, and he loves to make machines and has a passion for making things. As he grew up, more things were happening in his life. He worked as a materials engineering expert in product liability. Lawsuits gave him insight into how little most companies appeared to be investing in Mission Assurance as a risk-mitigation practice. Rather then spending millions defending class actions and bet the company litigation, he urges companies in high-risk industries to make the investment at the front end by engaging in Mission Assurance using his tested SOAR model. (Juarez, Christine) (John D. Olivas)

After graduating with his degree, he worked for the DCC as a mechanical. Upon finishing his degree, he pursued his doctorate. He graduated from Burges High school in El paso ,Texas. He recieved a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from the University of El Paso, Texas. NASA chose him to be in NASA in 1998. His training includined orientation briefings and tours, numerous scientific and technacial brefings and intensive instruction in Shuttle and International Space. He went to work for NASA in 1996. He worked for NASA's Jet Propulsion Labortory. He became an astronant there, and he worked with robotics there also. He aslo had to repaire space shuttles, and also he had to repair spacewalks and many more things. Danny spent more then 650 hours in space and he retaired his NASA job in 2010. He was in space for 27 days,17 hours and 5 minutes. Now he leads a center at the University of Texas at El Paso after retiring his NASA job. His new job studies how to make space travel safer for future astronants. He studied this after he retired because as a former astronant, he wanted more and more people to be involved with space and for it to be more space.(NASA)(John Danny)

He made an impact on the United States because he went in to space many times when he was working at his NASA job. He was the person who had to exchange crew members on the ISS. He was basically gearing up a six person on orbit. From there on out, he's taking up a multipurpose logistics module also known as an MPLM. From 2002 to 2005 he was assigned to the EVA branch and supported the research effort focused It was a lot of work for him, and a very hard position, and if they didn't have him they wouldn't be able to stay in space as long as they can now. He has inspired many others with his expirence in NASA. He is currently still living today.(NASA) (John Danny)

He made a big impact through the years working in NASA and on many kids who are following their dreams and to never give up. He always was very creative growing up. He let all his creativity loose through his NASA journeys.I think he left an amazing footprint on NASA by helping us go in to space and figure more things out about this crazy world we live in. Even as a kid he was always ready to try new things and do more things. He is a huge inspiration for young kids who dream to do what he does. (John D. Olivas)
