A stirring documentary profiles NASA’s pioneering Black pilots, scientists and engineers who looked to the stars even when society tried to hold them back. Among the subjects: Guion Bluford, the first Black astronaut in space—who was recruited by Star Trek icon Nichelle Nichols (the original Lt. Uhura).
