Costa Rica has one way later, but still worth mentioning him:
*Franklin Chang-Díaz’s first mission was STS-61-C aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia, launching on January 12, 1986, making him the first Hispanic American to fly in space. During the six-day flight, he helped deploy the SATCOM KU satellite, conducted astrophysics experiments, and operated the Materials Science Laboratory (MSL-2) before landing at Edwards Air Force Base.*
He also:
*Holds records for most spaceflights (tied with Jerry L. Ross at seven) and is the first Hispanic astronaut for NASA, logging over 1,600 hours in space, including 19 hours in three spacewalks for ISS construction, contributing significantly to space science and propulsion research with his VASIMR engine concept.*
