Stephen Robinson
The late twentieth century saw a new generation of American astronauts emerge from academic and scientific backgrounds, shaped by institutions across the United States. Stephen Kern Robinson, born on October 26, 1955, in Sacramento, California, belongs to that generation.
Robinson, a United States citizen, pursued his education at Campolindo High School before continuing at the University of California, Davis, and Stanford University. Working as an astronaut, he built a career in the American space program that drew on the technical and scientific training he received at those institutions. English was the language in which he conducted his professional work.
No specific honors or critical reception appear in the available record for Robinson beyond his standing as a working astronaut affiliated with the United States, a role that itself reflects the rigorous selection processes of the American space program.

That's a fantastic step forward. The next step is to be able to repair any damage we happen to have found. Our shuttle didn't require any repair, just a tiny little dental flossing of plucking a couple of gap fillers out.
Thanks to the whole team for making this day super smooth and easy, as well historic.
These 13 days have gone by so quickly. There've been a lot of challenges, but rewarding challenges.
