Robert "Shane" Kimbrough told the 8-year-olds on the football team he coaches that he's going to miss a few games. "I'll be back for the playoffs," he told the 25 boys, including his son, Zack. The father of three who grew up in Smyrna will leave his Houston-area home for a very important business trip Friday. As a NASA astronaut, he'll be on his way to fulfilling his childhood dream. . . .Now Kimbrough combines his military experience with extensive education as a mission specialist for the STS-126. The West Point graduate flew helicopters in Operation Desert Storm, earned a master's degree from GEORGIA TECH, taught college math and became a lieutenant colonel before joining NASA eight years ago.
