He was a good man and really smart. He was a great example and always will be a person who has over come his disability. Many of you might not know he had a disability called motor neuron disease. In a summary that means his motor are delayed or can be involuntary. At times he could not control his motor movements. This disability is also called Amyotrophic lateral Sclerosis or ALS as many people know it by. Despite his disability he able to achieve his PHD in Physics specializing in the great black holes from the University of Cambridge. He did his undergraduate work at University of Oxford with Honors in Natural Science. He was also able to start a family of his own and teach at the university were gotten his PHD from.
He had big interest in the great outer space with black holes and a passion for disabilities until the day he died. Even, though people thought it was risky, he flew on a zero gravity space. From the things I read he loved and enjoyed that experience. He basically, helped gain a lot of rights for people who are disabled. Because of his accomplishments they made a biological documentary about his life featuring himself. Finally, the former president Obama awarded him the medal of Freedom.
