This is the story of a curious boy from Costa Rica who never stopped dreaming. Franklin Chang-Díaz was born in Costa Rica with one big goal: to become an astronaut. Through hard work, perseverance, and patience, he made it to space. And not just once, but seven times! From his childhood in San José to his missions with NASA and his new work with plasma rockets, Franklin shows us that anything can be accomplished when your dream is combined with effort and heart.
