Dr. Mae Carol Jemison, star of Star Trek: The Next Generation, was born October 17, 1956! She played Lt. Palmer, a transporter technician in the episode Second Chances.
Oh, yeah, she was also the first female African-American in space, on the Space Shuttle Endeavor, September 12, 1992. It was her only space flight since she retired from NASA in 1993.
