Katherine Johnson 1918-2020

Featured Replies

Katherine Johnson had calculated the flight paths for America's first crewed space mission; worked on the first moon landing and later on for the space shuttle program.

She knew our good Earth was round; she knew the Moon was round too and she figured out a way to get us around like we never had before. She finally gets to see the whole view.

God bless all the unsung women involved in aerospace. By my calculations; they are all angels.

One of the unsung heroes of the space program.  Too bad she wasn't recognized earlier in life for her contributions.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.
