We will introduce you to our experts and engineers. From 1963, when John F. Kennedy’s assassination thwarted Captain Ed Dwight’s plans to reach the moon, to 2020, when echoes of the civil unrest sparked by George Floyd’s murder reached the International Space Station, African Americans The story of NASA is a story where world events and the aspirations of unusual people collide.
