For the last day of Black History Month, I'm featuring (gasp!) a black astronaut! Robert "Bobby" Satcher, born September 22, 1965 just down the road here in Hampton, Virgina, flew on the space shuttle Atlantis (STS-129) November 2009.
During the mission, he completed two EVAs for over 12 hours. He has a PhD in Chemical Engineering from MIT and a medical doctorate from Harvard Medical School.
