He’s currently serving as a pilot for NASA’s SpaceX Crew-4 mission to the International Space Station .
But Hines’s ties to Pennsylvania don’t end with Mountain Top: An official from Milton Hershey School informed PennLive via email that the astronaut’s grandfather once taught at the school, making his presentation on Monday even more special.Hines's mother, Lynne Swider, watchers her son's presentation.
“Hello there,” says Swider on a video of the presentation. “I’m not sure if you remember me because it’s been so long since I’ve seen you in person.Swider—who lives in Harrisburg with her husband—proceeds to ask whether her son brushed his teeth, combed his hair, and washed his hands that day. “Did you do all three of those things?” continues Swider to her laughing son. “Okay, you don’t have to answer that. Because maybe you didn’t, being up there!”
Hines eventually confirmed he did, indeed, do all three of those things, and even ate his vegetables to boot.Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
