Did you know?

Marcos Pontes is the first Brazilian and first native Portuguese-speaking person to go into space – and the only Brazilian to complete the NASA training program. His flight fulfilled a childhood dream to become an astronaut. Pontes is one of the most experienced jet pilots in the Brazilian Air Force, where he holds the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel and has flown for more than 2,000 hours in 25 different aircraft. His first NASA flight was delayed for six years because of technical and budgetary difficulties. But finally, on March 30, 2006, he traveled to the International Space Station. During his one-week trip, Pontes carried out eight experiments selected by the Brazilian Space Agency. On April 8, 2006, he landed in Kazakhstan with the crew of Expedition 12.

Safeco Insurance Festál, presented by Seattle Center in partnership with community organizations, is a year-long series of FREE events that honors the cultural richness and diversity of the Pacific Northwest.
