| Abstract | Aerospace engineer and major general (ret) Charles F. Bolden, Jr. was born on August 19, 1946, in Columbia, South Carolina. In 1968, Bolden graduated with his B.S. degree in electrical science from the U.S. Naval Academy, and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps. In 1970, he completed flight school and flew in more than one hundred combat missions during the Vietnam War. In 1990, he piloted Space Shuttle Discovery, whose mission it was to deploy the Hubble Space Telescope. During Operation Desert Thunder-Kuwait in 1998, he was Commanding General of the Marine Expeditionary Force. He was inducted into the NASA Hall of Fame. In 2009, President Barack Obama appointed Bolden as the NASA Administrator, making him only the second astronaut and the first African American to serve in this position. Bolden and his wife, Alexis Walker, have two children: USMC Lt. Col. Anthony, and Michelle, M.D. |
