New In The Second Edition In this Second Edition, new recognition, awards and activities of the Author including, his CBS Interview are presented since the first Edition was published in 2013. Other innovations regarding Fiber Optics and the Internet Platform are also included in this new Edition. A section on STEM that demonstrates the dedication and passion that Dr. Thomas Mensah has displayed to reach and inspire Primary, Elementary and High School students as well as College students, the future scientists and engineers in our society is added. This second edition also include sections on Cybersecurity, Virtual reality, and Augmented Reality Make sure to pick up the second edition of The Right Stuff Come In Black, Too, to continue to learn about the extraordinary accomplishments and contributions of Dr. Mensah. Original Description Below The Right Stuff was a term that was used to describe U.S Astronauts and space pioneers because of their ability to work in harsh environment requiring the nerve of steel sometimes risking their life. In politics the right stuff can be used to describe Mr. Nelson Mandela who was imprisoned for 27 years, without losing his vision and was elected the first Black President of South Africa upon his release, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr who endured beatings and attack dogs, water hoses, while marching for civil rights and maintained the nerves of steel to secure civil rights for African Americans. President Barack Obama, first Black President of the United States of America, who was reelected for a second term under incredible condition of high unemployment, Financial Crisis and Deficits. In space exploration the right stuff can describe modern black Astronauts like Dr. Mae Jemison, MD, Guy Blufford, General Charles Bolden, and Dr. Robert Bobby Satcher, MD and Ph.D. Fiber Optics are hair thin strands of glass that allow video, data, pictures, voice and Television signals to be transmitted using laser pulses to support the Internet. The robust and high speed transmission on the Internet is due to Fiber Optics. Dr. Thomas Mensah is one of the four inventors and innovators of Fiber Optics Technology which has enabled the Internet to reach many countries and continents. Over a billion people now use the Internet in many countries accessing it through smart mobile phones, tablets, laptops and desk top personal computers. The unlimited bandwidth, or information carrying capacity of fiber optics media makes this possible. Dr. Thomas Mensah solved a worldwide problem that had plagued the Fiber Optics and Telecommunication industry for almost 15 years keeping the cost of production extremely high because the fragile glass broke any time the speed was raised above 2 meters per second. His first invention allowed fiber optics to be manufactured at 10 times the speed of production without glass breakage while maintaining excellent transmission properties. He was awarded the Corning Glass Works Individual Outstanding Contributor Award and a cash prize of $10,000 for this manufacturing Innovation in 1985. He received four patents on the technology that were key to fiber optics manufacturing leading to production speeds of 50 meters per second. This closed the cost gap of 90% with respect to copper cable cost, leading to the replacement of copper cable with fiber optics cable in the U.S and throughout the world. This advanced Fiber Optic network infrastructure supports the modern high speed Internet.

"The Right Stuff" Lo Correcto era una expresi n que se usaba para describir a los astronautas de los EE.UU. y pioneros del espacio por su capacidad para trabajar en un ambiente hostil que requer a nervios de acero y a veces inclusive pon an sus vidas en peligro. En el campo de la pol tica, lo correcto puede usarse para describir al Sr. Nelson Mandela que estuvo encarcelado por 27 a os sin perder su esp ritu y fue elegido el primer Presidente Negro de frica del Sur una vez puesto en libertad, el Dr. Mart n Luther King Jr. que sufri palizas y ataques con perros y mangueras de agua mientras protestaba pidiendo derechos civiles y mantuvo neveros de acero para lograr derechos civiles para afroamericanos. En la exploraci n espacial lo correcto puede describir a los astronautas negros modernos como la Dra. MaeJemison, Doctora de Medicina, GuyBulffore, el General Charles Bolden y el Dr. Robert Bobby Satcher, Doctor de Filosof a y de Medicina. Las fibras pticas son hebras muy finas de vidrio que permiten que se ales de v deo, datos, fotos y voz se transmitan usando pulsos de l ser para apoyar Internet. Por medio de la Fibra ptica la transmisi n robusta y de alta velocidad en Internet es posible. El Dr. Thomas Mensah es uno de los cuatro inventores e innovadores de la Tecnolog a de Fibra ptica que ha permitido que Internet llegue a muchos pa ses y continentes. Ahora m s de un bill n de personas usa Internet en muchos pa ses con acceso por los tel fonos m viles smart, tabletas, computadoras port tiles y de desktop. El ancho de banda o la capacidad para llevar informaci n sin l mite por el medio de las fibras pticas hace que esto sea posible. El Dr. Thomas Mensah resolvi un problema mundial que hab a plagado la industria de la Fibra ptica y las Telecomunicaciones por m s de 15 a os manteniendo el costo de producci n extremadamente alto porque el delicado vidrio se romp a cuando la velocidad de producci n se elevaba a m s de 2 metros por segundo. Su primera invenci n permiti que se fabricara la fibra ptica a 10 veces la velocidad de producci n sin que se rompiera el vidrio y manteniendo a la vez propiedades excelentes de transmisi n. El recibi cuatro patentes en tecnolog a que eran claves en la fabricaci n de las fibras pticas a una velocidad de producci n de 50 metros por segundo. Esto cerr la brecha en el costo en un 90% en compasi n con el costo del cable de cobre, facilitando la sustituci n del cable de cobre con el cable de fibra ptica en los EE.UU. y por el mundo. Esta infraestructura de red avanzada de Fibra ptica apoya Internet de hoy en d a de alta velocidad. Rese a Editorial Sobre el Autor La contribuci n del Dr. Thomas Mensah a la innovaci n y la competitividad de los EE.UU. sonincre bles. Demuestra que una persona sin importar su raza puede. llegar al nivel m s alto de competencia t cnica y alcanzar logros significativos si tienen el deseo de descubrir sus talentos innatos y trabajar con ah nco para perfeccionar su arte. Desde un comienzo humilde en Kumansi, Ghana; el Dr. Mensah ha alcanzado el nivel m ximo en sus clases de matem ticas, ciencias y lenguas llegando a recibir una Beca del Gobierno franc s para seguir estudios de posgrado en Montpelier Francia. Tiene certificado de posgrado de MIT en Modelos y Simulaci n en Procesos Qu micos. Despu s de recibir su doctorado en ingenier a, emigr a los Estados Unidos para trabajar en dos de las instituciones m s prestigiosas de investigaci n del pa s, Corning Glass Works Sullivan Park donde se invent la Fibra ptica y los Laboratorios AT&T Bell conocidos por el descubrimiento del transistor transistor y el l ser. Su innovaci n en la tecnolog a extiende de las Fibra pticas a la moderna Nanotecnolog a de hoy en d a, con aplicaciones en las bater as de tel fonos celulares que duran tres d as sin cargar a sistemas avanzados de armamentos usados por las Fuerzas Militares de los EE.UU.
