Celebrating Black History Month 2011: The Star Riders

Black History Month is one where African Americans celebrate the richness of our history.

I have been drawn to celebrating it this year, and hopefully, many years to come, by the efforts of Darryl K. Taft, senior contributor at eWeek magazine.

I have decided to celebrate a group of people who, in my opinion, have transcended the pinnacle of achievement: they are spacers. This august group became astronauts, a burning desire of mine.

I call them Star Riders.

Stay tuned.
