George got married and there are two good girls. His mother was born in Medellin in Colombia. He also got a bachelor's degree in science and mathematics in 1984 and graduated. After graduating from Navel University in May 1984, he was invited to train at Neville Air Station in Washington from 1987 to 1988. He entered the Marine Corps Air Base

He was an astronaut and he spent a lot of time in the universe, as if he were on a different page. He got an excellent degree at college and earned six medals, and he has too many flights, but this is my favorite George D. Zamka. He is amazing. Now I want to be like him ... how about you?

George Zamka, the latest consultant of the DAV Foundation, is not afraid to open risks and open up new areas. His 30 years of wonderful career include the US Navy's Jet Pilot, executives of the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and commander of the NASA Space Shuttle. After Scott Horowitz joined the advisory board in January, Zamka became the second space shuttle commander to join the advisory board of the DAV Foundation this week. For Zamka, the journey began with a young man who was interested in the way the supersonic fighter landed exactly on the deck of the aircraft carrier. This urged him to study mathematics at the US Naval Academy. "Mathematics is used for everything," Zamka said. "In mathematics, people learn to do complex things."
