I do have many questions to ask about this magnificent flying machine but instead looking for answers I would like to extend my congratulations to the team of professionals that created this wonderful mechanical bird. Me as a commercial pilot and C.F.I. everytime the Space Shuttle goes up part of me goes with the crew wishim them a safe return. In my opinion this “bird” should be with us for many more years to come because it is not replacement to this wonderful mechanical bird; either way I wish to all of the people that they go up with it I wish a happy and safety return on landing.

Yes, Mary Kelley, it’s all a Big Conspiracy.

Frankly, I wouldn’t give a wet slap what color he was, I’m impressed with his merits as an astronaut.

Sheesh.

Yes, you’re right Mary Kelley – STS-116 is the first mission carrying two African-Americans together.

The very first Afrian-American astronaut is Guion Bluford, who flew on the Space Shuttle Challenger in 1983.

This was the firs mission that carried a male and a female of African descent, right?

The astronaut who set a new record for the number of space walks is an African American male, a detail everyone appears to be trying to keep under wraps.

“this also made him the third seated politician to fly in space”. Except, of course, the time spend in zero gravity.

Great article! I love that picture of Discovery taking off. I watched this launch live (well, with a 20 second delay) on NasaTV the other night, great launch. It was worth staying up until 2am for!

Great facts too, quite interesting.
