This February, we’d like to recognize the first Black American astronaut to go to space: Dr. Guion Bluford 🚀✨. In 1983, the STS-8 crew left orbit during the first night launch of the Challenger shuttle 🛰️. During this mission, Bluford deployed the Insat-1B satellite, the second craft in the first-generation Indian National Satellite System. To read about Dr. Bluford’s amazing contributions to the world of science 🔬 and space exploration 🪐, check out this biographical document released by NASA in 2019: nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/bluford_guion.pdf In honor of the courage 💪 and dedication shown by Dr. Bluford in pursuing his dreams and advancing humanity through unification 🤝 and perseverance, we hope you remember that your dreams are within your grasp! All you need to do is chase what excites you 💫. #BlackHistoryMonth #GuionBluford #Astronaut #SpaceExploration #NASA #BlackExcellence #Inspiration #ScienceMatters #STEM #ChallengerShuttle #SatelliteTechnolog...
