  • Mae Jemison describes her journey from space-loving girl in Chicago to astronaut looking down on Chicago and thinking about her younger self.
    Mae Jemison is a physician, engineer, educator, entrepreneur and the first woman of color in the world to go into space - she was a NASA astronaut for six years. Currently Mae devotes much of her attention to the 100 Year Starship, which she says is "pursuing an extraordinary tomorrow to create a better world today." In her spare moments, Mae is a lifelong and accomplished dancer.

    I have loved her since I was a kid and saw her in JET magazine in her astronaut uniform and we share the same last name... this is one powerful, crazy brilliant, beautiful black queen... my favorite woman of all time.

      And, you know she is not dead or anything.
      They always need Doctors down in McMyrtle station, Antarctica.
      There is still much work to be done defeating COVID -19, one of the most prolific and expansive reaching plagues in all of human history!
      Oh, yes.
      When the war in Ukraine ends, I am sure many people will need all different kinds of prosthetic body parts.
      With the right researchers, I think the science of "Biomedical Prosthetics" could grow by leaps and bounds in the next few decades! 😀

    Grew up in the sixties ,South side of Chicago
    Dreamed of going to space as a young girl
    She went to medical school for biomedical engineering and also worked at a refugee camp
    She wanted to take a poster of Judith Jamison,a bundle statue for the woman's society in West africa and a flag for the alpha kapa alpha sorority because she wanted them to be included

    Oh Yeah! I've always thought she's a natural beautiful woman during her space days. Looking at a much more mature woman now. She's still beautiful and carries a mature sexiness. As well of a trailblazer.
