Eyes on the Star, the Captain of his own starship enterprise.

I love this animated short of how a would-be American astronaut, Ronald McNair, stood up against racism even at the tender age of nine, without once ever giving up on his quest for knowledge. This animated short from StoryCorp features a voice over by McNair's brother, Carl.
