Dr. Mae C. Jemison leads 100 Year Starship (100YSS), a bold, far-reaching nonprofit initiative to ensure the capabilities for human travel beyond our solar system within the next 100 years. Jemison is building a multifaceted global community to foster the cultural, scientific, social, and technical commitment, support, and financial framework to accomplish the 100YSS vision--An Inclusive, Audacious Journey (that) Transforms Life Here on Earth and Beyond.
Jemison, the first woman of color to go into space, served six years as a NASA astronaut. Aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour's, STS-47 Spacelab-J mission in September 1992, she performed experiments in material science, life sciences, and human adaptation to weightlessness.
Dr. Jemison's talk is part of One Giant Leap: Apollo 11 @ 50, a two-day symposium presented by Hofstra University in partnership with the Cradle of Aviation Museum.
