Original – Ronald McNair, Guion Bluford, and Fred Gregory were NASA astronauts selected as part of the 1978 class of 35 astronauts nicknamed "The New Guys".

Reason: Ronald McNair, Guion Bluford, and Fred Gregory are respectively the 2nd, 1st, and 3rd African Americans to go to space and also the 3rd, 2nd, and 4th of African descent. They each were launched into space multiple times. McNair unfortunately died during the launch of his second mission, the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Bluford flew aboard Space Shuttles 4 times and Gregory 3 times.

Support This is a much better than standard example of formal NASA portraits (as the subjects look to be actually happy to be there), and it has very strong EV. Nick-D (talk) 10:26, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
