Mercury Missions were the real math busters. The above woman may have done the Apollo missions, however, she did it on the back of Katherine Johnson...
There was ONE woman they turned to. John Glenn himself would NOT fly, until;
Katherine Johnson did the final numbers herself....................
There were other African American women as well. Very much like above, they were not bandied about because of their heritage.........However, they streamlined a new process that changed years into months..............
The movie "Hidden Figures" is a very nice portrayal of behind, behind the scenes of Nasa's need to beat the USSR, at all costs
I'm not much for drama's,(get to much in here) however, this movie is based on factual information that has been hidden for decades
Why does it have to be that way?
