PACO HICKAM SPACE CAMP SCHOLARSHIP

Homer is on the board of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL, and has established a scholarship in honor of his cat Paco who was the first cat to meow in space (see either “Don’t Blow Yourself Up” memoir or “Paco: The Cat Who Meowed In Space” for his story).
