First Black astronaut candidate, now 90, reaches space in Blue Origin flight

This makes me happy. He endured shameful treatment at the hands of Chuck Yeager.

That acquisition is pretty light on proof:

I don’t think you would have trouble finding people that could say Yeager was disagreeable and difficult.

Sounds like someone wanted to posthumously slander a hero to sell books and get clicks.
