In 1995, Bernard Harris became the first Black American astronaut to walk in space. He became interested in science as a young boy, and entered his teenage years as the space program began to gain momentum. Remembers Harris: "We have put a man into orbit, and now we're into the Apollo program. And so I watched that develop, and when I was thirteen, '69 was when it really all kind of came together for me....Now, I'm being exposed to science. I'm being exposed to, you know, chemistry, to aviation. I belong to the Rocket Club where we built rockets, Estes rockets. We even built a flying saucer that left a, you know, real big impression on me because I was also, now, I've got television reception, right? So then I'm watching 'Buck Rogers' and I'm watching 'Star Trek' and, you know, I'm watching sci-fi shows. It's just feeding the imagination of this kid."

On this day in 1992, Dr. Mae Jemison became the first Black American woman to travel to space aboard the space shuttle Endeavour in 1992, working on experiments including bone cell research. A highlight of black people who have helped make space exploration possible. A THREAD

NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang: “Money is the only singular reason not to start a company“ “I hope that if I leave you with anything, money is the only singular reason not to start a company. Because starting a company has a very low probability of success. And so if that is your reason for doing it, you will likely regret the experience… You should build a company because you believe in your idea, you’re passionate about it, and you want to build something great… You have to have a perspective that’s unique and that you feel really strongly about, so you’re willing to persevere almost any challenge to make it happen.” Video Source: @StanfordOnline
