LEGAL NOTE: Generally ALL of the photos on this site are by NASA and/or NASA photographers save for photos taken by myself (which would be annotated as having been taken by me, Emily C.). I take no picture credit for any photos having been taken by NASA and NASA photographers, for obvious reasons. Thank you.

Astronaut Ronald McNair, doing martial arts.

This. So much.

True story: Charlie Bolden, at the Juno Tweetup, said McNair was his inspiration to join the astronaut corps. Apparently Bolden was apprehensive about making it. McNair said, “You’ll never know if you don’t try.” Bolden is now a space veteran and the NASA administrator. Awesome stuff.
