At only 20 years old, he has his own pilot license, is the director of his own film studio, and now he is going to study in Russia at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center. Lee Giat is a junior at UNF double majoring in Astrophysics and Multimedia Productions, and recently he found out that he will be going on an all-expenses-paid trip to Russia to study as a Cosmonaut.
