(November 3, 1921 – August 30, 2003)

Bronson died at age 81 on August 30, 2003, at Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Although pneumonia and Alzheimer’s disease have been
cited as his cause of death, neither appears on his death
certificate, which cites "respiratory failure", "metastatic
lung cancer", with, secondarily, "chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease" and "congestive cardiomyopathy"
as the causes of death.

U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Guion S. Bluford became the
first African American to travel into space when the space shuttle Challenger lifts off on its third mission. It was the first night
launch of a space shuttle, and many people stayed up late to
watch the spacecraft roar up from Cape Canaveral, Florida,
at 2:32 a.m.

The Challenger spent six days in space, during which time Bluford
and his four fellow crew members launched a communications
satellite for the government of India, made contact with an errant communications satellite, conducted scientific experiments, and
tested the shuttle’s robotic arm.

Guion Stewart Bluford Jr. will be 81  years old, November 22.
