I came across this guy Max Bajracharya. He is in the same team that launched Curiosity Rovers and was even spotted in TV.
The curiosity rover made me curious if he was born in Nepal and came here or he was born here ? If he was born in Nepal and reached such a level, it is quite a big achivement. His profile is below:

#Respect

For me personally, i do not think it as a big achievement even if he was a Nepali. I hope no Nepali will ever in any way  contribute to the space junk that is already out there. Humans not only have polluted mother Earth, but are hell bent on polluting the universe itself. We should focus more on giving another Buddha to the world than getting a job at NASA.

 His first name suggests he was not born in Nepal (i might be wrong). If he was born in Nepal, did his high school in Nepal and came for further education in US, then that would certainly be a good inspiration.
Mr. F2012, how much of the space junk do you about that you are so critisizing?

Regardless of whether he was born in Nepal or not, he certainly has the nepalese last name which is more than enough to give him a respect who've reached in such a big position abroad.
Bbmb, I like ur comment :-)

 He definitely looks Nepali!! good to know that he has done so well!!
