1962: Katherine Johnson was a mathematician who calculated trajectories for some of NASA’s most important missions. When NASA used electronic computers for the first time to calculate John Glenn's orbit around Earth, Glenn refused to fly until she verified the computer’s work. [1600X839]
As a maths student, I had to get a Katherine Johnson doll.
Today would have been Katherine Johnson's 103rd Birthday, a mathematician who calculated trajectories for some of NASA’s most important missions
TIL when NASA used electronic computers for the first time - to calculate John Glenn's orbit around Earth - officials called on Katherine Johnson to verify the computer's numbers; Glenn had asked for her specifically and had refused to fly unless Johnson verified the calculations. bbc.com/news/world-us-can…
