Ronald McNair grew up poor and Black in a leaky house in 1950s South Carolina. That didn't stop him from dreaming big. He set his eyes on the stars and saw infinite possibilities. From standing up to segregation at age nine to becoming a NASA astronaut, Ronald defied every boundary. He mastered physics, earned a black belt in karate, played the saxophone, and soared toward space twice! This inspiring biography shows young readers that with courage and will, anything is possible-no matter where they start. Though Ronald's life was tragically cut short in the 1986 Challenger disaster, his legacy continues to inspire dreamers everywhere.
