Dr. Douglas is a perfect example of the journey you start in New London taking you anywhere you want! He was a great leader within the Corps of Cadets while at the Academy, did some amazing things during his almost eight years of active duty service, and no one (at least here at CGA!) was surprised when he was selected for NASA's Astronaut Candidate Program. He recently conducted a short interview with our Alumni Association: https://vimeo.com/654691914/b8d268c062
