Space Exploration & Black History






Astronaut health and human exploration of Space are connected to Black History.  NASA's team, which is comprised of tens of thousands of individuals, have reached incredible milestones in Space exploration. A couple of NASA's responsibilities are to ensure the health and safety of astronauts.  Meanwhile, medical innovations such as heart pumps, used to prolong the life of individuals awaiting heart transplants, are also attributed to the work of NASA's extraordinary team.

The Black lady shown in the photo below was my best friend's mother.  We grew up across the bridge from Kennedy Space Center, where she worked as part of the NASA team, as unprecedented results were achieved.  I wrote an article about her role in the Space Program (Florida Today-A Gannett Company), shortly after her untimely death.  Rest in peace, Ms. Eartha; you will not be forgotten.
