Per the recent WP:CFD debate, I have created a sub page, Guion Bluford/Temporary. It is an article submitted mistakenly as a category by Foch0501 ( talk • contribs). I should be grateful if Wikipedians could investigate whether it can be merged with the current article, or whether it can otherwise be used to improve the article. It appears to be well sourced. -- RobertG ♬ talk 11:41, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Guion Bluford had to meet a few basic qualification requirements to become a mission specialist candidate. Some of these qualifications included a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in engineering, biological science, physical science, or mathematics. The degree must be followed by at least three years of related, progressively responsible, professional experience. An advanced degree is desirable and may be substituted for part of or all of the experience requirement. The quality of academic preparation is important. The candidate must have the ability to pass a NASA space physical, which is similar to a military or civilian flight physical. They need distance visual acuity of 20/200 or better uncorrected and correctable to 20/20 each eye. Their blood pressure must be 140/90 measured in a sitting position, and they must have a height between 58.5 and 76 inches Template:15 Anonymous May 18, 2006;.
I think we're making unnecessary confusion here, where 'African-American' is used to mean black. Mendez was the first black guy in space - but he went up in Soyuz 38, and is American only in the sense that his homeland is very close to North America. Bluford is the first African American in space, in that he's both of African ancestry and an American. I suggest reworking this to remove the semantic confusion.

Regarding the verb selection for "His hobbies ____," which appears to have generated much interest amongst anonymous IPv6 editors of late, I will suggest that 1) we cannot possibly expect this to be an exhaustive list of his hobbies. He may well dabble in one thing or another not on this list, and the things he pursues may change from time to time, also 2) until he is dead or we have a reliable source saying he's incapacitated, the verb for this list should be present-tense. -- ke4roh ( talk) 13:12, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
