RedHead Express- Last Show in The Valley
It was a full house at Southern Comfort to listen to the last concert by the RedHead Express down here in the Valley. To commemorate their first tour of the Rio Grande Valley, we produced an LP called The RedHead Express RGV Album. The Really Great Vinyl album was really an old LP of country and western songs on which we wrote the names of the twenty-eight venues that they played. The cover was decorated with sixty-one pictures, mostly of them, taken during their stay in the Valley.

Challenge Center of the Rio Grande Valley
In a surprise move Monday, February 15, 2010, NASA tapped the Redhead Express for a special mission to the International Space Station (SS) to rendezvous with a comet. After a mission briefing by Flight Directors, Alberto Villarreal and Art Castillo, the Redhead crew departed from a secret launch pad in San Benito, Texas at approximately 10:30 am. Being the first to employ the Beta-Molecular Integrated Transport System (BITS) the crew landed on the SS within minutes of takeoff. Half their crew manned Mission Control (MC) where they guided the astronauts through all the steps of their tasks. Those on the SS prepared the probe, triangulated the coordinates for launch of the probe, preformed physicals on the crew, checked the mass and density of meteoroid samples, conducted investigations of living insect specimens, monitored the space capsule conditions and maintained continuous communications with MC. Half way through the mission a collision with a meteor shower required evacuation
