Colonel Mullane was born September 10, 1945 in Wichita Falls, Texas but spent much of his youth in Arbuquerque, New Mexico, where he currently resides. Upon his graduation from West Point in 1967, he was commissioned in the United States Air Force. As a Weapons Systems Operator aboard RF-4C Phantom aircraft, he completed 150 combat missions in Vietnam. He holds a Master's of Science Degree in Aeronautical Engineering from the Air Force Institute of Technology and is also a graduate of the Air Force Flight Test Engineer School at Edwards Air Force Base, California.

Mullane was selected as a Mission Specialist in 1978 in the first group of Space Shuttle Astronauts. He completed three space missions and logged 356 hours in space aboard the Shuttles Discovery (STS-41D) and Atlantis (STS-27 & 36) before retiring from NASA and the Air Force in 1990.

Mullane has been inducted into the International Space Hall of Fame and is the recipient of many awards, including the Air Force Distinguished Flying Cross, Legion of Merit and the NASA Space Flight Medal.

Colonel Mullane is married to the former Donna Sei (pronounced "say") of Albuquerque and the couple has three children and three grandchildren.

Since his retirement from NASA, Colonel Mullan has written and published a major, hardcover novel, Red Sky - A Novel of Love, Space & War; an award winning children's book, Liftoff! An Astronaut's Dream; and Do Your Ears Pop in Space? a popular space-fact book. Colonel Mullane has also served as a host for Inside Space, a nationally syndicated cable television program of the USA Network. His wonderfully entertaining presentations of Stories from Space have been eagerly solicited by organizations of all kinds - from Fortune 500 companies to professional associations; from societies to schools and universities.

As a professional speaker, Colonel Mullane has thrilled tens of thousands of adults and a half million children with his inspirational, motivational and humorous descriptions of the astronaut experience.
