Mike Fincke Ends 30-Year NASA Career | Honolulu News
Description
After 30 years with NASA, astronaut Mike Fincke is retiring — ranking fourth all-time in spaceflight hours and logging over 48 hours of spacewalks. His final mission, Crew-11, was cut short in January when he suffered a mysterious 20-minute loss of speech, prompting an early return to Earth. Though no pain or heart attack was involved, the incident ended his historic career. Fincke, a former Air Force colonel, remains passionate about exploration, pledging to mentor the next generation and continue pushing humanity’s boundaries — including missions to the Moon and Mars.
