There’s more incredible info available about him in the comments after clicking the original post. What a cool guy! (This was my first real traumatic experience of a public nature, like 9/11. In that, I watched it happen, and cried for days. Shoot, it still makes me sad. Devastating loss.)

We tragically lost him in the tragedy of the 1986 Challenger Space Shuttle. He was selected to become part of NASA group 8, the first class that included both women and minorities.
