The main problems that Eileen Collins faced had to do with her being a female pilot and astronaut in what had traditionally been a man's world. She was only the second woman ever to attend the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School, and she went on to become the first female space shuttle pilot as well as the first female shuttle commander. Many of her male colleagues made it difficult for her at first because they weren't used to a woman in the roles that she took on.
Roberta Bondar (born December 4, 1945 in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario) is a Canadian, a former astronaut and neurologist who flew aboard the Space Shuttle on January 22-30, 1992. Canada's first male astronaut was Canadian Navy captain Marc Garneau, who flew aboard the Space Shuttle in 1984.
Mae Jemison is a special astronaut as she was the first African American woman to travel in space, flying aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1992. Her background as a physician and engineer, combined with her passion for science and commitment to education, set her apart in a predominantly male and white field. Additionally, Jemison has been an advocate for diversity in STEM and has inspired countless individuals through her work in both space exploration and the arts.
