    "I wish I had the time to become an astronaut," said U.S. Army Spc. Andre Reece, from Brooklyn, N.Y., after meeting Lt. Col. Robert S. Kimbrough, NASA astronaut, at Camp As Sayliyah, Qatar, Feb. 2. "As a kid, everyone wants to be one at some point." 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.
