Chuck Yeager, an iconic figure in the history of aviation, was born on February 13, 1923, in Myra, West Virginia. He grew up in a modest household and developed a fascination with flight at an early age. After graduating from high school, Yeager enlisted in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II, where he quickly established himself as a skilled fighter pilot. Yeager’s most famous achievement came on October 14, 1947, when he made history by becoming the first person to break the sound barrier. He piloted the Bell X-1, a rocket-powered aircraft, and reached a speed of 703 miles per hour, transcending a limit that had seemed insurmountable to many. His successful flight ushered in a new era in aviation and solidified his place in aeronautical history. Throughout his career, Yeager achieved numerous milestones, including flying combat missions in both World War II and the Vietnam War, as well as serving as a test pilot and instructor. His contributions to the field of aviation were recognized with various awards and honors, including the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom. In addition to his remarkable flying career, Yeager was known for his down-to-earth personality, charm, and unwavering dedication to the art of flying. He continued to inspire generations of pilots and aviation enthusiasts until his passing on December 7, 2020. Chuck Yeager’s legacy endures as a symbol of bravery, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of breaking barriers. Portrayed by Doug Mishler.

One of NASA’s human ‘computers,’ Katherine Johnson performed the complex calculations that enabled humans to successfully achieve space flight. Katherine Johnson made the most of limited educational opportunities for African Americans, graduating from college at age 18. She began working in aeronautics as a “computer” in 1952, and after the formation of NASA, she performed the calculations that sent astronauts into orbit in the early 1960s and to the moon in 1969. Johnson was honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2015. Margot Lee Shetterly’s 2016 book Hidden Figures: The American Dream and the Untold Story of the Black Women Who Helped Win the Space Race celebrated the little-known story of Johnson and her fellow African American computers. It was also turned into an Oscar-nominated feature film, Hidden Figures (2016), starring actress Taraji P. Henson as Johnson.

Neil Armstrong was an iconic American astronaut, engineer, and naval aviator, best known for his historic role as the first person to set foot on the Moon. Born on August 5, 1930, in Wapakoneta, Ohio, he developed a passion for flight at an early age. Armstrong’s journey to becoming an astronaut began when he earned a bachelor’s degree in aeronautical engineering from Purdue University, followed by service as a naval pilot during the Korean War. After the war, he joined NASA, where he initially worked as a test pilot for experimental aircraft and later became involved in the Gemini and Apollo space programs. His momentous achievement came on July 20, 1969, during the Apollo 11 mission, when he descended from the lunar module and famously proclaimed, “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind,” as he took his first step on the Moon’s surface. This monumental event not only marked a significant milestone in space exploration but also inspired generations to dream big and pursue their ambitions. Armstrong continued to contribute to aerospace after his historic moon landing, teaching aerospace engineering at the University of Cincinnati and serving on various boards and commissions. He remained a relatively private individual despite his fame, dedicated to his family and the advancement of aerospace technology until his passing on August 25, 2012. His legacy as a pioneer of space exploration endures, symbolizing human curiosity and the relentless pursuit of knowledge. Portrayed by Terry Lynch.
