# Do you know John Herrington? - Thirsty (for KNowledge) Thursday

Yes, this is from Nick Jr. and focused toward children, but it's still educational and interesting!

John Bennett Herrington (born September 14, 1958, Chickasaw Nation) is a retired United States Naval Aviator and former NASA astronaut. In 2002, Herrington became the first enrolled member of a Native American tribe to fly in space.

Now share that with your kids!
