A former NASA astronaut from Yonkers visited his hometown Wednesday.
Col. Ron Garan Jr. was at the Yonkers Riverfront Library tech center, answering questions from students about his days with NASA.
Garan is now working for a new company called World View Enterprises.
"What we're going to do is bring experiments, research packages, communications packages and people to the edge of space in high-altitude balloons," Garan says.
Roosevelt High School is now adding Garan to its wall of fame because of his accomplishments.
Garan recently published a book called "The Orbital Perspective."
