Remembering Guy Bluford's Historic Flight

When he was accepted into NASA's astronaut training program in 1978, Guy Bluford never aimed to become the first African-American in space. "My desire," says Bluford, "was to make a contribution to the program." Years later, Bluford still recalls the rain-soaked morning of Aug. 30, 1983, when a crowd at the Kennedy Space Center awaited Space Shuttle Challenger's soar into history on STS-8.
