He studied physics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) where he earned his Ph.D. in 197.
McNair conducted research on space communications and then he was given the chance to apply for anstronaut training. After training, he completed his first space mission. His dream was to teach, but that dream did not come true because of the deadly Challenger mission.
After his death, Congress funded a program to help low-income, first-generation college students with college expenses.
