(WBNG) One Broome County local helped Americans make it all the way to Mars.
Daniel Krysak is a graduate of Union Endicott s Class of 2002. Now, he s part of the team that developed the Mars Perseverance Rover for NASA.
A Binghamton local, Krysak said he s had a love of space since he was little and explains how it makes him feel to see and hear touchdown. You re sitting there you re not breathing the whole time. You re just dead silent eyes staring right on the screen waiting for the official touch down, he explained, adding, then you re like oh gosh you sigh of relief and then after that you jump into planning a number of hours later and go do it.
