Answer 9

Mae Jemison (astronaut, physician)

In 1977, Mae Jemison earned a B.S. degree in chemical engineering from Stanford University, having received a scholarship there at the age of 16. She then attended medical school and received a Doctor of Medicine degree from Cornell University in 1981. Following medical school, Jemison served as a Peace Corps medical officer in West Africa. In 1985, she began attending graduate classes in engineering and applied to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for admission to the astronaut program. Jemison became one of the 15 candidates accepted from some 2,000 applicants in 1987.

Mae Jemison successfully completed her astronaut training program in August 1988, becoming the first black female astronaut and the fifth black astronaut in NASA history. In August 1992, Jemison became the first black woman in space, as a member of the successful SPACELAB J joint U.S.–Japanese science mission. The cooperative mission conducted experiments in materials processing and life sciences. In an interview with CNN, Jemison said, "I felt like I had a right to be anywhere in this universe, that I belonged here as much as any speck of stardust, any comet, any planet."
