Star sailor : my life as a NASA astronaut
Summary:
Sail the stars with astronaut Charlie Bolden as he recounts his amazing shuttle missions, including deploying the Hubble Space Telescope, training with Sally Ride, and leading the first US space mission that included a Russian cosmonaut as a crew member. Charlie even got to congratulate Star Wars creator George Lucas at the Academy Awards from space! Follow Charlie's incredible story, from watching movies as a kid about Flash Gordon flying to Mars from the balcony where Black people had to sit all the way to becoming the first Black NASA Administrator. From the thrill of watching lightning storms from the mesosphere to the heartbreak of the Challenger disaster, Charles's life as a star sailor is full of adventure and discovery, told in his own words along with award-winning author Tonya Bolden.
