During Bernard Harris's 18 year career at #NASA, he was apart of many 'firsts'. He completed two lower orbit missions(#STS55 on #Columbia & #STS63 on #Discovery), logging 438 hours. Selected in the Class of 1990, he is the 1st to conduct a telemedicine conference from space, the first African American to spacewalk (approx 4.5 hrs), and was apart of the first Russian-American Space Program flight. #BernardHarris #TheDernTruth #AfroAstronony #20BlackAstronauts #BlackHistoryMonth
