    U.S. Army Lt. Col. Robert S. Kimbrough, NASA astronaut, signs an autograph for Capt. Shawn Reynolds, from Lavergne, Tenn., at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, Feb. 2. "I always dreamed about going to space as a tourist," said Reynolds. "We've had other celebrities here, but astronauts have accomplished something very unique - truly astonishing." Kimbrough was a crew member during the STS-126 space mission in November 2008. He performed two spacewalks during his work on the International Space Station, logging a total of 12 hours and 52 minutes in extravehicular activities. Six STS-126 crew members were visiting service members in the Middle East and Germany, to show support while sharing experiences. The two-week trip is a first for Armed Forces Entertainment.
