Being an astronaut wasn’t enough.
Dr. David C. Hilmers has launched into space four times as part of NASA space shuttle crews. But God had more planned for Dr. Hilmers. The beauty of the Earth from orbit reminded Hilmers of his first dream to become a doctor. He went to medical school, became a pediatrician, and has since launched into countless missions and disaster relief trips around the world.
Dr. Hilmers’ extraordinary life and work as a missionary will inspire you to reach even higher than the stars.
