Amazing people. All of them. I was really happy to see Mae C. Jemison because recently I'm getting back into space and NASA and stuff.

Thank you for sharing this.

You're so welcome!

And getting back into space? As in getting interested in it, or going to work with NASA?

:-D

Writing about it. I had done a lot of research years ago about space travel and NASA. Projected space exploration plans.

I was reviewing my old characters, who are part of an international effort to go deeper into the solar system, Mars and beyond. Manned space travel. Space stations. A lot of speculative stuff, too, and political science, how humanity has to change to evolve, putting every prejudice under fire. I had decided that the commander of the USA team will be an African American woman. I was thinking about researching the more up to date space programs so I was really happy to see Mae C. Jemison posted.

That sounds really interesting, IMHO. :)

Yes!

Also, I nominate Vivien Thomas. He was amazing and not nearly enough people know about him.

Another great suggestion. Will do!

[moonshaz]

Yay! I'll looking forward to it! :D

Literally said, "Daaaamn" out loud when I saw Mae C. Jemison's photo. I believe I have a thing for short-haired women. ._. (Plus it's a great-looking photo.)

Very, very cool list! (Also, Madam C.J. Walker closely resembles a friend of mine. I'm tempted to say to her, "If I said you looked like a millionaire, would you hold it against me?)

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the post. :)

And LOL!... :)
