Black Excellence: Victor J. Glover Makes NASA’s 2013 Astronaut Candidate Class

U.S. Navy Lt. Commander Victor J. Glover just got the opportunity of a lifetime. The California Polytechnic State University grad was selected from a pool of over 6,000 applicants to become one of NASA’s eight new astronaut candidates.

The astronaut trainee program will prepare the candidates for possible missions to low-Earth orbit, an asteroid and Mars by sending them through two years of rigorous technical training at space centers around the globe.

Lt. Commander Glover, who is the only African American in this year’s class, set himself apart from the other applicants by penning a clever limerick.

In addition to being one of NASA’s perspective astronauts and a F/A-18 pilot, Lt. Commander Glover and his wife Dionna have four daughters–Genesis, 10, Maya, 8, Joia, 6, and Corinne, 5. He is also a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.

Excellence....

1) Agree 100 percent with your first point. For me, it's black woman or bust....

2) I've felt for some time now that we are being held back by our focus on contemporary "urban" genres and themes. We need to expand our minds a bit....

SMH @ some of you toms thinking that Black excellence means hanging out with white women.

maybe not, but its a pretty good characteristic nonetheless

Don't want to derail this thread but leave it to a black woman to set us back a couple of centuries:

Delete that shyt and bounce.

Breh I am telling you right now you need to go cop that "New Jim Crow" book by Michelle.....it incorporates EVERYTHING we are talking about at some point in the writing.

We had the Harlem Renaissance in the 20s for our community........and the Motown Era in the 60s AND 70s.......

i am trying to think of creative things we can do.....I am naive optimistic hoping that since it does not look like much is gonna happen in this decade that we will have another renaissance period in the 2020s...
