His Presentation: "It's Hard to Eat GORP in Space"

STS-116 Launch
At one point or another, everyone on this planet (or off it) comes face to face with adversity.  It can rear its ugly head in public (gasp!) and without warning...physically, professionally, legally...gastronenterally, which is where GORP comes into play.

Billy O serves up his personal experience seasoned with humor and delivers a message to anyone who has ever let the little things raise their blood pressure.  Relax.  Take a step back and remember: hard work, positive thinking and a strong spirit of adventure put even the stars within reach.


Background
Flight Patches



Billy O has overcome huge obstacles to become one of the best aviators of all time.

At 17, he was critically injured by a drunk driver.   His leg below the knee was severely fractured, and doctors said he may never walk again.  

But he must not have been listening, because he got up, walked out and went on to fly the most complex machine ever built by man.

He is an adventurer and an aviator; a TOPGUN graduate and Antarctic explorer.

From The Last Frontier to The Final Frontier, Billy O has flown Alaskan floatplanes, F-18s and the Space Shuttle Discovery.

After 44 years, he can honestly say there's never been a dull moment.
