Jemison was a fan of the TV series 'Star Trek' since she was a child. Not only did sh e go on to become the first African American woman to go into space, but she even appeared on an episode of 'Star Trek' Throughout her time growing up, teachers, scientists, colleagues, and friends told Jemison becoming an astronaut was too high a goal.
