Objective This lesson focuses on four astronauts and scientists who have a background in physics or a related discipline – Ronald E. McNair, Michael Anderson, Guion S. Bluford Jr., and Jeanette J. Epps. A link to a list of some African American astronauts is included in the Required/Recommended Reading and Resources section along with a website dedicated to providing biographies on all current and retired astronauts. Introduction The history of NASA, like all American institutions, must always be contextualized within the larger framework of American society. Before the middle of the twentieth century, racism and segregation barred most African Americans from being able to work at NACA, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics and the predecessor of NASA.

  • Passage 1: Speech on the Challenger Disaster by Ronald Reagan
    RHETORIC 9 – PASSAGE SET Passage 1: Speech on the Challenger Disaster by Ronald Reagan On January 28, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven crew members. Many Americans were watching the launch live on television as on board the shuttle was Christa McAuliffe, who was to be the first teacher in space. President Reagan delivered this speech the day of the tragedy. 1. Nineteen years ago, almost to the day, we lost three astronauts in a terrible accident on the ground. But, we've never lost an astronaut in flight; we've never had a tragedy like this. And perhaps we've forgotten the courage it took for the crew of the shuttle; but they, the Challenger Seven, were aware of the dangers, but overcame them and did their jobs brilliantly. We mourn seven heroes: Michael Smith, Dick Scobee, Judith Resnik, Ronald McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Gregory Jarvis, and Christa McAuliffe. We mourn their loss as a nation together. 2. For the families of the seven, we cannot bear, as you do, the full impact of this tragedy. But we feel the loss, and we're thinking about you so very much. Your loved ones were daring and brave, and they had that special grace, that special spirit that says, "Give me a challenge and I'll meet it with joy." They had a hunger to explore the universe and discover its truths. They wished to serve, and they did. They served all of us. 3. We've grown used to wonders in this century.
