Ergebnis für "Ma" in Abenteurer, Entdecker & Survival

Durant six ans, j’ai côtoyé des héros. J’ai combattu quelques gros feux, perdu un camarade, sauvé des vies et vu des gens mourir. J’ai été immergé en plein cœur de la détresse du tout Paris.

People yell, honk, throw things, even bark and howl at me, just because I ride a bike in traffic. I understand their frustration.

Mae Jemison is a woman who has worn many hats throughout her illustrious life. She has been a chemical engineer, dancer, social worker, medical doctor, writer, and choreographer. But perhaps, she is most well-known in her role as an astronaut. On September 12, 1992, Mae joined six other people aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour for the STS-47 mission. The mission was completed successfully, and Mae became the first-ever black woman to go to space. Her life both before and after her launch into space is one that is truly worth learning about and understanding.
