John Shoffner, a Knoxville native, recently reflected his 10-day mission with Axiom Space.

“I’ve dreamed of space since I was a kid,” Shoffner said. “I was always going to go to space, I just did not know when.”

The mission Shoffner took part in was named “Ax-2” and he also helped with the research in the International Space Station.

“It’s generated some really, really fascinating science that could not be available on normal earth under gravity conditions,” Shoffner said.
